ability to Recover multiple tablespaces to last full copy in a single statement

The current Recovery Utility syntax does not allow multiple tablespaces to be recovered to their own respective last full image copy in a single recover statement. This can be useful for resetting test environments or even in production for a pre batch like recover scenario.

the below CANNOT be done for a standard RECOVERY:

RECOVER

TABLESPACE DB.TS1
TABLESPACE DB.TS2
TOLASTFULLCOPY


and needs to run as two separate recovery invocation like:

RECOVER TABLESPACE DB.TS1 TOLASTFULLCOPY

RECOVER TABLESPACE DB.TS2 TOLASTFULLCOPY

enabling the single Recover statement will be a nice addition and also if the same syntax is extended to a REDIRECTED recovery syntax that could help as well. Db2 has all the information for each tablespace in SYSCOPY so technically it should be possible although I understand there will be other considerations in the background that I might not have thought of.
