selecting tape volumes to be recycled, or excluded from recycle process, by sms tape storage group

Today's DFHSM RECYCLE command allows to include/exclude volumes by volser range, or volser list, or tape residence. It would be nice to have an option to select volumes using the  sms tape STORAGEGROUP as criterion. This would help in keeping to segregate datasets by retention period at a sms/hsm level, and at a TS7700T stacked pool level, given an fixed  sms-tape STORAGEGROUP to TS7700T-StackedPool. This could help  tuning   RECYCLE  and RECLAIM processes for short life datasets.
