Description
On Linux systems, the SFTP client sftp has the -s option which enables certain features on the remote system.
Most notably, running sftp-server with sudo.
I'm not seeing a way to do that here. Would is be possible to add this feature?
Buried in the docs here, I see what looks like it could be some partial support for this, but maybe that is part of the Server documentation.

Research direction
Start with SFTP.md, especially the SFTP methods section, and compare its existing support with the OpenSSH sftp -s option described in the issue. Determine how a client should configure a custom remote subsystem, then verify that the finished feature lets callers use an equivalent subsystem command, including the sudo sftp-server case.
