Allow remote hosts for remote forwarded ports

Hi all,

I just wanted to temporarily make some new CMS I set up available to the 
public for testing on port 8080 of our web server forwarded via ssh to 
to my local, firewalled workstation:

ssh me at some-host.tld -R 8080:localhost:80

However I had to notice that this only binds to the loopback interface 
and not to all. For -L there is the -g option to low connects to locally 
forwarded ports for remote hosts. As far as I can see there is no 
equivalent for remotely forwarded ports.

Is there any reason this is not implemented?
