No.

If the feature were part of some standard, so implementing
the feature would contribute to portability, then we would
certainly consider implementing it.

Well, I haven't seen the proposed syntax and don't understand
the proposed semantics.

In general, however, implementing nonstandard features tends to
degrade portability.  Larceny has been a pioneer with respect to
some features, such as ERR5RS and allowing multiple libraries in
the same file, and I'm more interested in seeing progress toward
greater portability of those fairly basic features than in plowing
still further ahead by adding even more nonstandard extensions to
Larceny.
