Will there be a tapered thread command?

It would be wonderful to have the thread command not fade away on tapered surface as it did in the image above. Using coil command can be tedious when the threads to be achieved are ACME threads.

Tapered Acme threads can be done in a similar manner as tapered pipe threads. Use a square profile tapered coil. Chamfer the sides with distance and angle (29 degrees).

These will probably work for 3D printed objects, but may not be suitable for precision or high pressure.
