How do I edit a particular slot?

LucasWerkmeister

I’m working on a tool that will edit wiki pages, and I noticed a discrepancy between the two halves of the process: when downloading the current content (via action=query&meta=revisions), I can specify a particular slot to download (rvslots=main); however, when uploading the edited content (via action=edit), I can’t seem to specify a slot to target. Am I missing something, or is that not yet supported in the edit API?

Okay, it looks like this isn’t implemented yet, subject of T174033, T200570 and/or T204112.
