Custom elements inside "softwareSystem" and "container" #78

Description

Description

Hi, I use Structurizr Lite and describe my system with dsl files. I found out how I can use custom elements directly in a model:

workspace {
    model {
        ce = element "custom" "CustomElement"
        softwareSystem "mySys" {
            c = container "myContainer"
        }
        ce -> c
    }
    ...
}

But apparently it's not possible to include a custom element inside a software system. Is there any reason for it? Or is it possible to change that?

workspace {
    model {
        softwareSystem "mySys" {
            ce = element "custom" "CustomElement"
            c = container "myContainer"
            ce -> c
        }
    }
    ...
}

Priority

I have no budget and there's no rush, please add this feature for free
