You can accomplish something like this with the pull code, using no reference 
group, so each restraint is in terms of absolute coordinates, but you can 
accumulate artifacts with pressure coupling.  This would generally be somewhat 
uncommon, since absolute positions within a periodic system are arbitrary, 
anyway, so I wouldn't call it a "basic need" for most applications.
