Reduce backup frequence for some backup points

say I'm using the default backup schedule:

retain hourly 6
retain daily 7
retain weekly 4

what I'd like to be able to do is have certain things be backed less often by doing something like

backup /src/ dest/ no_hourly

so now /src/ is only picked up by daily and weekly snapshots

I know I could probably do this already, but it would require a separate config file, separate cron entries, and separate backup roots. It'd be much nicer if it could all be kept together.
