I think this sounds interesting, and it's certainly functionality we 
would want. I wouldn't have any time to dedicate to it personally, 
though, and I know we have a lot of work on existing PLIPs.

It wouldn't bother me much if we didn't land this before 3.5 in light of 
everything else we have to do, but if it's going to be easy to merge and 
someone has time to review it it'd be a nice bonus to get it now.
