"Auto-Bridge" for Extrude Manifold

While the Extrude Manifold tool is great, it could be further enhanced by adding an automatic bridging feature.

Currently, to create a window opening in a wall, you usually have to select both the interior and exterior faces and use 'Bridge Faces.' It would be much more intuitive if Extrude Manifold could handle this in one gesture. Specifically, when pushing a single face inward, the tool should detect when the extruded face reaches the same coordinates as the opposite (back-facing) surface. At that point, it should automatically:

Bridge the faces to create a clean opening.

Merge all coincident vertices to maintain manifold geometry. What do you think?
