UWP 10 RenderTargetBitmap a cropped area of UIElement in UWP 10

How does one crop a RenderTargetBitmap? The equivalent of:

    RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap();
    await bmp.RenderAsync(element , cropRect );

This question seems simple enough, yet there seems to be no real way of doing it. The above semantically sums up my usage case. I want to render part of a Xaml tree. It's a perfectly legit use case.

Saving to a file, which seems to be the most common way of cropping, is really not a good answer. Sure, maybe one day I will save a cropped image into my media library, but not today.
