Discrete dollar amount dividend in equity option

Leon Sit
Hi All:

Does quantlib support dollar amount dividend in equity option pricing
engines? I see that there is a fixeddividend class but after grep-ing
the examples and test suites, it is never used for any option
calculations. Any input is appreciated. :)

Thanks

Leon
