Partitioned loopback devices

I've always thought that partitioning should be done only by something like the loopback device, which means the logic could go in the loopback device driver instead of the block layer. This means the loopback device driver is an LVM, by the way.

Is there some reason I've missed that partition awareness by the block layer is a good thing?
