Ian Hulin started working on that issue, but it seems there's sad news 
that never actually reached the LilyPond community (at least I couldn't 
find a mention on either -user or -devel):

https://www.justgiving.com/remember/174876/Ian-Hulin

I didn't know him personally, but judging from 
https://github.com/ian-hulin, it seems that page is for the same Ian 
Hulin who contributed to LilyPond. His last messages on -devel are from 
October 2014.
