Bulk send to multiple device tokens

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am working on an app which sends APNS with the same content to many devices. I was surprised to find out that this library only sends to one device token at a time, which I assume creates many small requests to Apple APNS service. The upstream service supports specifying many device ID-s in a request, and it feels like this library should too.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have an API to send APNS which would let me specify many device tokens for one send call, as a simple set of Strings.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to use the current API and send the APNS to several devices one-by-one. This works, it just creates extra network traffic and many small requests instead one bigger request.
Additional context
Can’t think of anything, feels quite straightforward.
Upon further reading of the documentation, I think I’m mistaken. There appears to be no API to bulk-send to multiple tokens. Any bulk-sends that I have seen in other libraries must be handled on the client/sender side.
FWIW you can do this with vapor/apns#36
