Why is there no uvm_reg_block::write_field_by_name()?

There is a function uvm_reg_block::write_reg_by_name() which will write to a register using it's simple name instead of the full hierarchical path. Why is there no equivalent function for writing directly to a field? I can do the two step process of uvm_reg_block::get_field_by_name() followed by uvm_reg_field::write(), which is basically what happens under the hood of uvm_reg_block::write_reg_by_name(), but why isn't this already built into UVM? Or is there a way to do this that I missed?

Thanks
