  • [x] Closes #1781
  • [x] Tests added
  • [x] Tests passed
  • [x] Passes git diff upstream/master **/*py | flake8 --diff
  • [x] Fully documented, including whats-new.rst for all changes and api.rst for new API

For testing - I could use some guidance. Not sure if it's worth creating a fixture set or something just for this issue. If so, would that go in test_backends?
