Check the mods subforum around here - someone made a mod for exactly that.
Seems like a band-aid solution in my opinion. If it's simple enough for a user to create a mod that solves the problem it should also be possible for Larian to put the resources into it.
I'll use the mod if the feature hasn't been added by the time of the game's release, but mind you that not everyone has access to or is willing to use mods for various reasons. Considering how simple it (seemingly) is to fix the problem that severely diminishes the quality of the game I personally don't see a reason not to make it a core feature.
