I hope, this changes will be included in phobos in future.
Sometimes hoping isn't enough. If you have a need that youi think should be in Phobos, then I think you should ask for it in Bugzilla. Asking isn't equal to someone actually implementing it, but in this early stage of the life of Phobos knowing what's needed is a very interesting information.
