Prepopulate i3-input with some value

I am using code from FAQ to give a new name to some workspace via i3-input:

bindsym $mod+r exec i3-input -F 'rename workspace to %s' -P 'New name: '

How can I prepopulate input with current name of a workspace to change it instead of writing a new one?

You cannot, currently. If you would like to be, please send a patch (to http://cr.i3wm.org/)
