I am not aware of this work being on anyone's plans, but of course it's 
not possible to know what community members will be working on in the 
future. There has not been any significant amount of demand for this 
feature to be finished from the user community to my knowledge.

Not really, no, because it's not a bug, and 'feature request' issues 
without patches attached to implement the feature are usually closed 
rather quickly (since there are over 700 open issues already, they 
wouldn't be likely to get attention very soon).

Well, that statement is not false, even if there isn't currently a way 
to cause that part of the behavior to be triggered :-)
