For those wishing to be on the 'burning edge' in LaTeX terms, we have
put some *very experimental* support code on GitHub:

David and I are working with the rest of the LaTeX team to make the
changes transparent to end users: we hope to have all of this to CTAN
and into TeX Live well before any binary changes in the release version,
and will co-ordinate the same with MiKTeX.
