[erlang-questions] mnesia:dirty_select/3 feature request

Currently there are mnesia:dirty_select/2 and mnesia:select/{3,4}
functions, but no mnesia:dirty_select/3 with the following signature:
mnesia:dirty_select(Table, MatchSpec, Limit) ->
{Records, Continuation}
I believe it would be very useful to have this function for cases when a
user needs to get only a few matching records out of a very large table.
Or perhaps am I missing some other ways to do mnesia selects using fast
read matching operations with a Limit clause that don't involve
transactions?
