Detecting health of Backend in Director in VCL

| And in VCL, how do I tell the health of the backend within a director?

something like:

backend foo {
        …
}

director rr round-robin {
  {  .backend = foo; }
…
}

sub vcl_recv {
  set req.backend = foo;
  if (!req.backend.healthy) {
    # Handle this
  }
  set req.backend = rr;
}
