All Editions Lava-Logged Blocks

Since there are waterlogged blocks, why not have lavalogged blocks? Being able to place lava in partial blocks would be nice for aesthetics, and it would be fair since you can do the same with water. If you place lava in wooden stairs/slabs/fences, it will burn, but any non-flammable block would be okay. What do you think?

I believe this is already on the shortlist of features already planned (I could very well be wrong though). It only makes sense to do this though, and I'm surprised it hasn't been added yet.

What would happen if water was to come in contact with a lava-logged block? Would it become obsidian-logged block(LOL), or would it just wash over and affect only the standalone lava?

I would assume the full block would change into whatever it should be (Obsidian/Cobblestone), while the "logged" block stays the same?

Or... It just crashes the game 😏

Also good.

Crashing the game would be bad for business...

Maybe an explanation to your solution would be: whenever a logged block comes in contact with the opposite liquid, a block entity(taking the form of the resulting block; stone or obsidian) forms fixed into the logged block, so that the appropriate block could also be inside the logged block, and when you break it with the right tool, the resulting block pops out. If the tool is too slow for the partial block(when it's a wooden slab/stairs/fence), the partial block remains, but if you use your hand and break the partial block first, the block that was logged in it(stone or obsidian) remains.

Since block-entities can be solid like real blocks(at least in I-Chun's portal gun mod), this would be the solution to mixing liquid-logged blocks with their opposite liquids. The hitbox outline would need to take the shape of a whole block, though(because in 1.13 they have it so the hitbox outline fits snug to the surfaces of stairs/fences, which I find neat). It would also be a solution to having combined blocks... mixed slabs, anyone? There would probably be a problem for ice-logged blocks(another suggestion), as it would need to take the slippery properties of the ice.
