Multi group used to behave something like this where black was inserted where there are gaps in the video. Try it in MC v2.7.

It would basically operate exactly the same as a sequence that is in multicam mode, but without having to mixdown the clips with black, make separate clips, group them, and then start a new sequence. FCPX has this functionality already, albeit with audio issue I've heard. It doesn't seem like a tough thing for Avid to implement since it uses functionality that they've already developed in a very similar way to the way it already works.
