The feature

Context:
I am importing photos from my Fujifilm X-T5 shot as JPEG + RAW directly to my iOS device using the Photos app. After import, each photo appears as a single "JPEG+RAW" item in the Photos app. Each JPEG+RAW item takes about 100MB in total, which will quickly use up my device and cloud storage, so I'd like them to be backed up to Immich.

Fujifilm's RAW format is RAF.

I am aware that if the RAW/RAF file is separated from the JPEG (i.e. appears as two separate items in the iOS Photos app), the Immich iOS app will upload both of them separately. However, it's annoying to see duplicate images in my photo library, so I prefer to keep them combined as JPEG+RAW.

Problem:
When the Immich iOS app uploads these JPEG+RAW items from iOS Photos, only the JPEG component is uploaded, not the RAW (RAF) file.

Expectation:
The Immich iOS app should upload both the JPEG and RAW file to the server, and those files should be also appear as a stacked JPEG+RAW item on the server. The JPEG should be the "primary" item in the stack because it's the file intended for casual viewing/sharing and any film simulations are applied to the JPEG. This behavior would make the Immich server be a good storage location for backing up these large RAW files.
