Hi Aaron,

No one's said they'd like to work on it yet, so it's not on the roll
for 10.5 at the moment.

I plan to create the 10.5 branch in 12 days - which means cut-off
point for new functionality - and I suspect it would be a stretch for
you to get this implemented before then; just the paperwork - we'd
request you to file an ICLA - would take a couple of days.

However, there have already been ideas bantered around for a release
after 10.5, it would be wonderful if you could implement this for that
release.
