[5e Macro] Rerolling Dice, but Only Once

D&D 5e recently introduced re-rolling 1s and 2s, but only one time. If you get a 1 or a 2 on the re-roll, you take that re-roll. So for example a 2d6 that comes up as a 1 and a 4 would re-roll the 1, but if it comes up another 1 you take that. The current re-roll option for Roll20, which would be phrased as /roll 2d6r<2 for our example, re-rolls all 1s and 2s, even the ones that come up on the re-roll. So that doesn't work for the 5e rule. Can we get a new re-roll command to handle this sort of (fairly common) re-roll issue? Something like /roll 2d6rr<2 would work (with rr meaning re-roll, but only once)?
So...lots and lots of views, but no comments. Any thoughts on this issue? It's an ongoing concern.

I think most of what there is to be said was already said in your Specific Use Questions thread. It's a good idea to have, but there's not much else to say. In the mean time, you can achieve the same math with rollable tables.

Yeah, I agree with Brian. I think it's a good idea. I'd like to see it happen. But since there are workarounds that aren't too painful (the simplest being a manual reroll), it's low on my personal list of desired features.
This feature has been asked for before due to Legend of the Five Rings and it's reroll mechanics. I'm sure they'll implement it eventually, for now you are pretty much limited to either using the API or a manual reroll.
