Yes, this is a missing feature that would be great to have.

Also sections :) 

TCAdefaults.tt_content.pi_flexform.mySheet.mySection.myContainer.myAnotherContainer.myField = 1

What about language? That should be also taken into account,s o the above may become:
TCAdefaults.tt_content.pi_flexform.mySheet.mySection.myContainer.myAnotherContainer.myField.lDE = 1

There is an idea around to modify stdWrap's getData to enable {field:pi_flexform:field_myfield}. But this idea is not implemented due to problems with sheets sections and containers in flexforms.
