There was a long discussion about it before the branch was created,
i.e. many years ago. IIRC Richard was not highly interested but might not
oppose it as long as it didn't make the current code more complex and
ensured 100% backward compatibility.
Since then Miles has done a good bit of the work, but I don't know exactly
what's missing. I know the trickier part is writing the byte-compiler.
IIRC the interpreter has been working reliably for a while now.
