You can, of course, implement anything you want on top of this library on your own and maintain it, but we are not going to include it if it's something specific to a single use-case. We prefer snippets and posts on StackOverflow for that specific scenarios.
- Backports: We will not make new features available on older versions of this library. Only the latest will have all the features.
