Justin Hornsby and Stuart Morgan have been working on something like
this in their (little bit of) free time.  (Though I don't know if they
plan to promise forwards compatibility (what you've referred to as
backwards compatibility).)  But, as it really isn't required (and is
less visible than other "bug" fixes), I don't think it's their highest
priority.
