Patches are always considered, but asking about inclusion before the code is written doesn't really work. If you care about this feature and really want it, you should write the patch and submit it to the mailing list for discussion. It might get dropped on the floor or it might get accepted, but without you actually showing that you want it, nothing at all will happen.
