Modal key signatures

It would be good if Sibelius recognized modal key signatures, such as D Dorian. 1) It would allow a proper identity (D Dorian vs pseudo-D Minor) 2) It would allow for proper spelling in the key signature so that natural marks negating the key signature aren't scattered all over the score 3) It would prevent using a wholly misleading key signature, just to get the right accidentals into the key signature. In folk music, this is very (VERY) common. In my 2000-tune Scandinavian fiddle database, probably a third of the tunes are in some modal scale that is neither Ionian (modern major) nor modern minor.
