Shadow Channel composited automatically in Beauty pass

Hey Next Limit,
Is there a way to have the shadow channel (rendered on an object that's invisible to the camera) composited over the backplate into Maxwell's beauty pass? I was getting the impression from the help docs that it would do this, but despite my attempts using FIRE and the external production renderer, I still can't get the shadows to composite directly within Maxwell.

If not, can a note be added to the help docs that explains this? This would be a really useful feature, especially if it were available in FIRE.

BTW, I'm using Maxwell version 3.2.0.0 RC1 with the 3ds Max plugin version 3.2.4.

Thanks Next Limit!
