I have always wondered why Google doesn't add this feature. Creeping up the ladder of permissions is a problem in Android, and the user's choice is all or nothing. This can become a bad choice: Add a permission, or lose access to the data an app is keeping for you.

It would be easy enough for developers to catch security exceptions that Google would find little or no developer fall-off due to a requirement like this.
