fragments and reassembly

It appears that the reassembly API doesn't handle inserting "known middle" fragments (preferring them to be known 
consecutively).  This appears to be at least one of the reasons the SCTP dissector does its own reassembly and why the 
new Bluetooth dissector from bug 7675 (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7675) may need to do its own 
reassembly as well.  Am I understanding the reassembly API correctly or am I just not being creative enough to 
understand how to represent a "known middle" fragment with the current API?
