It wouldn't be easy, and would be impossible to do it cleanly in 3.5, 
you would have to modify the code to interpolate for every finish 
option, and there's lots of them. It would probably slow things down 
detectably. In addition, a workaround is available for the vast majority 
of cases...texture_map.
It's another thing that will probably wait for 4.0.
