Is there a way of using the API to submit a suggested edit?

This would allow users without the edit privilege to at least submit their suggestion.

There is no create/add endpoint listed in the docs under Suggested Edits.

When using the edit question endpoint with a user without the edit privilege, the following error is returned:

{
  "error_id": 407,
  "error_message": "Account is not allowed to suggest edits",
  "error_name": "write_failed"
}

Which looks like an error when a user receives a penaltysuggested edit ban, but suggesting the suggested edit works when using the website instead of the API, so I'm assuming there is no penalty associated.
