Add "No Selection" item to Single Select when Using Items from Service

We are looking for a way to add a "No Selection" item to the beginning of a List Items Service used by UI elements such as Single Select when "Item lookup mode" is "Items from Service"

Example: We have a List Items service that returns a list of users. We want to have a Single Select for the user to select a user. However we want to have an item at the top of the list for "No User Selected". Note the "Placeholder" configuration option does not work in this case as it is not re-selectable after a user selects a value.

We could add a fake user with a name of "No User Selected" to the List Items Service. However we may want to reuse that List Items Service in other contexts were we do not want to add this extra item, or we may want to have the item have a different name, perhaps "No Reviewer Selected".

We tried using the "On Service Items" event to add it, however the Single Select API only provides an "appendItem()" method which adds to the end of the list, not the beginning. There is a "setItem()" method that will replace an item, but it cannot insert.

The following code does what we want, however it is using undocumented APIs:
me._instance.itemList.items.unshift({name: null, value: 'No User Selected'});
me._instance.itemList = new com.ibm.bpm.coach.List(me._instance.itemList.items, "svc.items");
me._proto._loadListItems(me, me._instance.itemList, me.context.binding.get("value"), me._instance._optValProp, me._instance._optDisProp, me._instance._busValProp, me._instance._busDisProp);

Adding a method such as "prependItem()" would satisfy this requirement. As would a configuration option added to Single Select to have a "no selection" item with custom display text.
