Forcing a reload of External Data Groups within an iRule

I like the idea of the ability of an iControl updating an external class for an iRule to refer to it in real time.
A good usage I see is updating a black list of IPs by some application (using iControl) and have an iRule reject connections from these IPs.
I do find it a bit funny that such a wonderful mechanism needs such a clumsy way to reload the external list. This is a basic need and I would think of a simple single line of code (style "class->reload")
Joe, I read you were looking into this code forcing a reload on 9.4.
Now that 9.4.4 is out, would you know if there is an easy way to force a reload in 9.4.4?
Thanks,
Tom.
