Override torrent folder upon download?

Hello,

Is there a way (in any client -- CLI, GTK, web or RPC) to tell Transmission to ignore any top-level folder contained in the torrent and put it in a folder of one's choice?

eg:

Torrent contains:

GutenbergBible/1.txt
GutenbergBible/2.txt (etc)

But I want this folder (which is in the torrent) to be named Bible/, so the results would be

Bible/1.txt
Bible/2.txt

Is this possible? I looked through the code briefly but the RPC API docs were a little thin. I don't know if tr_torrentSetLocation() is anything close to what I want or not. (I'd prefer not to write a patch myself, but if this feature doesn't exist yet...)

This is not possible in Transmission at this point, and I do not know if it's even being considered.
