Window reveal not taken into account?

In "Window:Property:FrameAndDivider", the "Inside Reveal Depth" field seems not to be taken into account during calculation. Indeed, modifying the input value does not have any effect on Window heat gain nor Window outside face sunlit fraction outputs. 1) Is this an issue I should submit in the GitHub repository? 2) Is there any other way to take into account the shading produced by windows outside reveals? I thought about creating overhang and fins to simulate the effect of reveals but they also shade the wall, so this is not ideal.
