It's been looked at, but the shifter stalk is just way to wide and the sift pattern way to tight to allow something like that.

His last post on it was:

I did some preliminary evaluation tonight. It is highly unlikely that we will find a solution, and the thickness of the shaft is the barrier. We'd have to design something completely unorthodox so that the gate would be at the very top of the shaft, where is it thin. This would make for a dome shaped gate, which would be very odd looking.
