Multi-pass simplicity

hey,
Was wondering if Unity supports a 'scripted' multi-pass setting in the shaders?
The only multi-pass example I could find was the fur shader on these forums - but the author has manually copy/pasted the Pass 'x' times.

Other engines/shader systems I've worked with allow something along the lines of:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. SubShader{
3.    LoopPass [string passName] [int count]
4.    Pass "Foo"
5.    {
6.    }
7. }

There would also be a constant set each pass by the engine to reflect the current pass count.

Does something like this exist in Unity - if not, are there plans for something like this?

Cheers!

 

Yeh, I guess it's "bang for the buck", can only see grass/fur benefiting from it, and only then during dev time.
Cheers!
