dotenv inside included Taskfile

From docs: "Please note that you are not currently able to use the dotenv key inside included Taskfiles." Are there any plans to implement this, please? Especially when using dotenv on task level in included Taskfile works: included Taskfile:

  show:
    dotenv: ['.env']
    desc: show
    cmd: echo $VAL_FROM_ENV

  show:
    dotenv: ['.env']
    desc: show
    cmd: echo $VAL_FROM_ENV

I am trying to use Taskfile in monorepo where "apps" have their own .env in their context (folders) as well as a Taskfile. Thanks.
