This is not currently supported, but at least in theory, it should be
relatively easy to add support for this since the state machines have at
least partial support for this type of selection.

Though, it should also be noted that there can be some challenges in
recognizing what is to be done locally with EAP methods like EAP-TTLS
that may start with anonymous identity in the first phase.
