This could be a very useful feature. To do it properly, you'd want some new update syntax, extending that of the atomic updates. That is, a new custom request handler could do it, but might now be the best way.
If I were to try this, I'd look into the atomic update tickets in JIRA and see what code they touched. See if you can find a way to add something there.
