Automatic subdisk naming?

It's been a while, but I seem to recall that given a plex with org
concat, the historic vinum could create subdisks that were automatically
named with the name prefixes of the other objects in that volume.
For example:
drive vg device ad0s1g
volume home
plex org concat
sd len 4g drive vg
Which would create:
home (volume)
home.p0 (plex)
home.p0.s0 (subdisk)
Then, when the time came to expand the volume, the following could be used:
sd len 4g plex home.p0
Which would create
home.p0.s1
and the volume home could be expanded with growfs.
In the 6.1-RELEASE-p2 implementation of gvinum, when I try this, I get a
subdisk simply named ".s0", but apparently added to the correct plex (it
increases in size).
Is this considered a bug? Is it enough detail? :) A casual search of
PR's didn't show me anything that looked quite like this.
Thanks,
Marty
