I just got R8 and I can not find that ability there? I am doing intensive field testing and what I do is measure light, set the time and shoot. But that might be my “manual cameras” habit. And “matrix metering in AE mode” is not fool proof on black dogs, I have to underexpose -1.

Unfortunately the M7 in AE mode only locks the setting for one exposure. In this situation I would meter manually once and just keep shooting until the light changed. This is not something you can do with the M7 in AE. It needs to have either a better AE lock or matrix metering in AE mode. I would greatly prefer a better AE lock.
