Request Ability To Share Smartcard With Host and Guest

Description

Currently, VMWare Player is the only known software that allows the ability to share the USB smartcard reader with the host while still allowing the guest to read the smartcard. Virtualbox takes the smartcard away from the host and only allows the guest to see it when you attempt to activate the smartcard reader on the guest. With certain Windows security settings enabled, this effectively causes the host to immediately lock the screen, preventing the user from doing anything. I request to add this feature that has been long-supported in VMWare Player where the Host and Guest are able to share a connected smartcard.
