iwctl force autoconnect

Is it possible to force iwd to connect to a known network without
explicitly giving a network name? That is, to force attempting to
autoconnect?

Currently "station <net> connect" requires a ssid. It would be nice if
that would be made optional, causing iwd to go through the automatic
connect logic.

I assumed that issuing a "station <net> scan" *would* attempt to
autoconnect if a known network is seen and we're currently disconnected,
but it's not always the case. If we disconnected from a known network
due to AP disappearing and reappearing sometime later, "scan" will the
network, but connection is still performed after some longer timeout.

I want to bind an action to force a scan+connect without having to wait,
and without having to hardcode a network name. When I'm moving a laptop
between offices and go through some blind spots (elevator) I end-up in a
situation where I'm disconnected, and I want to force a connection right
away.
