Enhancement request to have define formal gates on sequence diagrams

According to UML specification (2.5.1) interactions can have formal gates (Figure_17.1_UMLSpecification.png). They would allow messages from and to the diagram frame, see Figure_17.4_UmlSpecification.png and Figure_17.14_UmlSpecification.png. The latter one also shows to which dedicated lifeline this message is sent, i.e. who is called in the subsequence. According to 17.7.3.1 (Chapter_17.7.3.1_UmlSpecification.png) it shall be possible to put gates to interaction uses (refs), do sent signals with parameters to specific lifelines in those (sub-)sequencs. Also according to 17.7.4.1 Interaction use, input and output parameters are defined for ref-combined fragments. All this is currently seems currently not really possible, but really urgently needed to unambiguously define, how sub-sequences will be called and which parameters will be provided or sent back to/from which lifeline.

Can we have the feature of formal gates on sequence diagrams as per UML standard.
