Indeed, the propagation pattern of a ULA would work nicely for this, but there’s no way to do this automatically.   I might have (and indeed unfortunately it’s common to have) more than one ULA on a constrained network.   How do I pick?   :)

So what I really want is indeed something that is treated like a ULA, but that can be a constant, and not something that has to be derived.
