[Elecraft] Auto Notch on CW?

Is there a reason why the auto-notch has to be disabled on CW?

There are many times when it is highly desirable to notch strong CW
signals or carriers whilst trying to listen to a weaker DX signal
underneath, but usually at a different pitch.

My previous rig, a Ten-Tec Jupiter, was highly effective on CW in pile-ups
with the auto-notch enabled & could cope very well with the policeman &
jammers on the DX frequency, allowing the weaker signal to be copied
underneath. Manual notch is too fiddly in this case when most of the
effort needs to be focused on finding the DX's listening frequency. A simple
click on / click off of the auto-notch can work wonders in reducing strong
QRM on the DX frequency.

If it is possible to enable auto-notch on CW, please can it be done? It's
not as stupid as it first sounds!
