Bug? Setting Policy to REJECT?

Is it a bug that I cannot set a chain's policy to REJECT or any other
module loaded target? I find REJECT to be a "nicer" policy than DROP for
internal networks, since connections fail immediately rather than timing
out.

Is there any possibilty of this being implemented, or will I just have to
console myself with "iptables -A FORWARD -j REJECT" after I've set up my
other rules?

Thanks.
