[Geocoding] Reverse Geocode Bounding Box

Is there a way to get a bounding box back from Nominatim when doing a 
reverse geocode search or a relatively easy change (with my own install 
of Nominatim) that would allow that - perhaps a simple inclusion of the 
bounding box into the response?

I am hoping to use the reverse geocode to turn a lat/lon point into a 
sane bounding box that covers the specific boundaries of whatever 
element the point falls within.

If not possible, can I put in a feature request for that as well as a 
standardized bounding box format?

Thank you!
