Just to confirm, so I don't duplicate planned functionality, this is not the feature that will be present in the next release?
It is in fact what is referenced in the TODO which BetterRed linked, as:

(2) is preferable in terms of features/functionality, but is much harder to implement in a performant and semantically correct manner.
As far as I am aware, Kovid has no current plans implementing either one, hence why it is dropped unceremoniously into the TODO until he can figure out what to do with them.
It's a bit of a challenging issue as indicated... if you can implement this I'm sure lots of people will be quite interested.
