'R - Multiple compasses in tmap

Is it possible to include more than one tm_compass() on a map created by tmap?

I know it's probably unlikely that you'd need to, but say you wanted to show off the different compass types. Using nz from the spData package I tried adding each new compass as an additional layer, but it seems only the first one is included on the map.

library(spData)
library(tmap)

tm_shape(nz)+
  tm_fill()+
  tm_compass(type = 'arrow', position = c(0.1, 0.9))+
  tm_compass(type = '4star', position = c(0.1, 0.8))+
  tm_compass(type = '8star', position = c(0.1, 0.7))+
  tm_compass(type = 'radar', position = c(0.1, 0.6))+
  tm_compass(type = 'rose', position = c(0.1, 0.5))

If arrow isn't included, then 4star takes it's place:

tm_shape(nz)+
  tm_fill()+
  # tm_compass(type = 'arrow', position = c(0.1, 0.9))+
  tm_compass(type = '4star', position = c(0.1, 0.8))+
  tm_compass(type = '8star', position = c(0.1, 0.7))+
  tm_compass(type = 'radar', position = c(0.1, 0.6))+
  tm_compass(type = 'rose', position = c(0.1, 0.5))
