Exclusion search wish (as UCI option) Empty

Maybe a small programming idea, in lieu of a MultiPV, Rebel always championed the exclusion search in the past (less difficult than Multi PV mode which is tricky to get it somewhat right) and since on my computer at least CS Tal and Rebel are limited to two threads anyway, but are already very strong with one, maybe it would be nice if a second thread could do an exclusion search, maybe automatically changing when the best move in the main thread changes, of everything except the strongest move at the moment. So the search becomes quite a bit wider, when using two threads instead of one. I think Rebel and CS Tal already do this to some extent (search the second best move deeper than other moves)?

For instance in the position from Jouni in Talkchess, https://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82619, Caruana - Carlsen, Rebel EAS after nine seconds can see 23. g2-g4 is good but then loses it again for a Rook move (which may also win, I do not know, but in Multi PV 23.g4 is stronger);

21/41 0:09 +2.78++ 23.g4 (4.131.479)
