API v2: How to get metadata of deleted folder?

Is it possible to get metadata of a deleted folder using v2 API? We would like to get ID of folder which has been deleted.

I can note a similar issue with the SwiftyDropbox SDK using the V2 API.  While listFolder(), when used with includeDeleted set to true does include the names of deleted files, a getMetadata() call fails, returning a .tag of "not_found", rather than a Files.DeletedMetadata conformant object.  I guess this is a bug/omission, since V2 is so new.

Gregory, is there an ETA on this defect, or somewhere I should file it?  I did add an issue on the SwiftyDropbox github site.
