Unlock encrypted device and sd card together

With device encryption being available with the 3.3 release, I wonder if device and sd card encryption can be combined.

According to the Jolla support article about [sd card encryption], you need to unlock the card every time you "turn the device on" (does this refer to a restart of the device or a simple power off of the screen?) via a separate menu.

Now with all the auto-unlock for the user data (/home) in place when unlocking the phone, it would be neat if the sd card could be unlocked the same way: power on screen -> enter PIN -> /home and sd card gets unlocked automatically.

Is this feature already implemented but not yet added to the domcumentation? Or may I ask for it to be added?
