erase doesn't understand epoch as an argument

Description

Previously when rpm whined something about dependencies, one could double click the string in terminal window and paste those nvr:s into next command's argument list.

New rpm outputs also epoch (nevr) in error messages, but does not understand it as input.

An example:

error: Failed dependencies:
        iscsitarget-kmod >= 1:1.4.18 is needed by (installed) iscsitarget-1:1.4.18-1.fc11.x86_64

and then as an input:

# rpm -e iscsitarget-1:1.4.18-1.fc11.x86_64
error: package iscsitarget-1:1.4.18-1.fc11.x86_64 is not installed

and this succeeds when erased with plain:

# rpm -e iscsitarget

It would be nice if this (much needed) epoch handling would be expanded into erase too at some point of development.
