This is perfectly fine. Emacs is Free Software: you can always patch
it to have the additional primitives you need, and develop any
applications you want based on that. The issue being discussed here
is what should we provide in Emacs by default for all our users.
There's no intent to tell you what to do in your own projects.

I'd rather wait for now.
