Staging with retro boosters?

Currently MechJeb won't auto-stage if the next stage has engines that would be detached by the staging.

This makes it impossible to use retro or separation boosters (like the ones in novapunch) with the ascent autopilot, and any modules which may use auto-stage in the future.

Can we has solution to this? Maybe an 'I know my staging' checkbox or something.

This one is tricky... Unless I have some way of tagging the retro engines, I don't know if I'm ejecting something I'm supposed to or not, which would cause all sorts of weird problems... I guess I could check which way the engine is pointing, but that would probably tag some reversed descent modules as well...

If you have a nice idea to tell them apart, I'll see what I can do.
