forwarders overriding zone delegation.

What's the logic behind this?

If we delegate a sub-domain, then we have the NS records for that
sub-domain, right?
So why should a global "forwarders" statement in our config override
that
knowledge.  It seems silly to me to pass a query on to some other server
when we have the necessary info at hand.

I know that we can override the override :) by creating a zone
of type "forward" for each delegation, but that could be a lot of work
if there are several delegations.
Why isn't there just a single option that says,
"delegations override global forwarding" ?
