The obvious fix for the problem is

No, that would be a new feature, and it is not at all clear how it would be

The obvious *FIX* is to change the condition to "have the same rank", and 
have the conformability simply be an extra requirement.  That would also 
have the advantage of being what everyone has already implemented.
