it's not currently part of its functionality, but it is planned and discussed for the future. This will definitely be the easiest way to accomplish what you're asking for.
Great idea, I was thinking about it myself but thought it was too crazy to suggest. For example, I needed it to make diagonals for a bridge that weren't too chunky. I can use stairs for tops, but the bottoms stay badly jagged. I don't think they would be hard to make at all, just an upside down stair block, that is all. Place them just like stairs.
For clarification, I'm thinking of having the narmal stair blocks detect when you are standing lower than where you are placing them. When this happens the stair would be placed upside down. Thou sould make stair undersides look better as well as make better looking arch-interiors.
Update: Eighth blocks can now do 256 combinations of placement with multiple materials in each block. (wood+cobble), (stone+white wool). (This is over 10 million combinations if I did my math correctly).
This effectively does what you're asking; look there for a solution to your needs :happy.gif:.

10 million combinations? Wouldn't minecraft run out of data values or something?

Nah, it don't work like that. :happy.gif:. Besides, 10million fits into a 32 bit value.
You literally have 256 combinations, but each portion of the block can be a different block from what I've seen. With the number of placeable blocks reaching 256; it's not impossible to imagine there'd be 16.7million combinations.
