AnimationPlayer is lacking a method to play from frame x to frame y

The animationplayer has many methods, but the one I really miss is the one that lets me play part of an animation.
I know there are ways around, but I imagine a method like this could be convenient for many Godot users :

void play(name: String, from_frame: int, to_frame: int)

void play(name: String, from_frame: int, number_of_frames: int)

AnimationPlayer does not think in terms of "frames" – it sees time as a continuous value in seconds.

Therefore, this can already be achieved with a Timer node or with a custom counter variable in _process()/_physics_process().

Yes, I've noticed that the animationplayer doesn't behave in the way I expect it to behave (from experience with other players). I know there are workarouonds, but it isn't convenient if you have to do these things many times in a project.
Anyway, one can only ask ... =)

I just found this in the documentation, and I wondered why Godot would offer this functionality for imported animations, but not for native animations when game developers obviously feel a need for it ?
