Viewport Normal Pass as a Render Pass, Please

The viewport normal pass is becoming increasingly important. Please offer an option that it can be set as a render pass. There are workarounds, but a dedicated pass inside the compositor to output to an individual folder would be much more preferable than now. Currently, rendering any passes needed through the compositor (mat IDs, depth, etc.), and then going to the viewport and enabling the normal pass matcap then rendering the viewport through the menu is the way to go but this is clunky and unnecessary.

Thank you.
