Hard to say. This isn't easy as supporting subtypes means that we need full
control over what the parent types are doing in their
allocation/deallocation chain, and that may not be entirely trivial to
determine. The current call chain isn't made for that.

In any case, no-one's currently working on this AFAIK.
