Not really; for a while it looked like it might, but then I had an
argument with RMS over some details, and (1) I just don't have the
stomach to fight about it with a release pending, (2) the fact that it
happened indicates that the feature probably isn't ready for release
quite yet anyway.

If someone wants a patch against a recent CVS emacs, I'd be happy to
make one though (if anyone happens to use my "emacs-miles" arch branch,
it's already included there).
