Right now, there's no plan whatsoever.
Any addition to the basic special forms will need to be very well
argumented (and come with a patch that handles all the relevant cases,
including byte-compiler).
Addition of a new macro OTOH is very straightforward, so I'd expect any
such change to take the form of a new macro.
