Ha ha, no it would seem not OK! Others may not see the benefit, but for me it seems it would be cool.

The first issue I see is the Automatic requires two more detente than the three on the tree.
As 67 says, the whole column would have to be re-engineered to do what you speak of, and then reconfiguring the linkage to actuate the shift points in the transmission
