Service binding through hostgroup negation

Hi Folks:
I'm new to nagios, but have been using Netsaint for years, and I'm now
moving all of my configs to the template format (which is very nice). In
my configs I basically assign hosts to hostgroups, and then bind the
service to that hostgroup. In some circumstances I have exceptions in
which it would seem the best way to account for the exceptions would be to
have a hostgroup definition inclusive of the exceptions and than to negate
those members via their hostgroup membership.
An example.
service does_proxy
hostgroup_name hostgroup_all
service does_proxy+smtp
hostgroup_name hostgroup_all!hostgroup_proxy_only
In other words the does_proxy service includes all hosts as members. The
service does_proxy+smtp would include all hosts as members, except the
exceptions listed in hostgroup_proxy_only
Is it possible? If it isn't possible would it be possible to add it in a
future release?
Thanks,
Brian Seppanen
