Topic: No valueQuantity as item.answerOptions

I have a use case where I want to give a list of possible answer options to a questionnaire item of type quantity. I suppose this should be done via the item.answerOptions property, but valueQuantity is not allowed there.

I do not quite understand why the set of possible value[x] in item.answerOptions is restricted to valueInteger, valueDate, valueTime, valueString, valueCoding and valueReference. I see that not all QuestionnaireItemType do make sense as an answerOption (e.g. valueAttachment), but why are such types as valueQuantity or also valueDateTime not allowed?
