No chance at all. 2.2 is in feature freeze since it went into beta, and this
is definitely too risky to drop in at that stage. Even if you had a patch
implementing it! The development team isn't exactly risk-averse in the early
stages of a new release, but I'd be very surprised to see anything radically
new appear at this stage.
