As Mark explained, it will do none of the above unless someone steps up
and writes the code.

For reference, what Nathan described was discussed here on the list and
in person during hackathons years ago, yet nothing happened until Julian
started writing code (and even then, what Julian is doing is a limited
subset of the "ideal").

If there's no interest amongst people to take the time to write the code
... well, we can all tell tall stories about the future, but that won't
change it one bit.
