Motion lighting and contact sensor

This app is so close to what I'd use it for. I'm currently automating my bathrooms with two rules, combined as one RM4.0 rule. First is: If motion - light:on, if no motion - light:off. Second if contact closed - light:on, contact open - light:off. If you could add one more condition for contact to disable turning off the light as well or instead of turning off the light. Then I and people with lizard brains like me would have an easier time.

As ML stands the contact can only keep the light from turning on. I can't think of a reason for that, at least not with my floor plan. I'm good with using RM but if the idea is to lower the learning curve of HA then "I" think it would be useful to have this one more tiny capability.
