It exists, pretty much all. No proof of concept implementation 
and no official approval so far. Community discussion was not 
really active either - most likely because it does not seem very 
realistic to expect it implemented.

Usually it comes to providing DMD pull request that implements 
the DIP and than convincing Walter/Andrei it is worth merging. 
Most likely change will still be rejected but without PR chances 
are close zero.
