Not at the current moment.  Like all things open source, someone will
have a need and that's most likely when it will get implemented.  The
only exception is if someone is willing to pay a developer to implement
it.  AFAIK, there hasn't been any real interest other than discussion.
It's certainly something we would consider in the future but we have
more important things to implement given our limited manpower.
