Ah, that's something different... and as i understand it, the opinion
about whether it is a useful or an ugly hack are somewhat, ähem,
widespread.  I don't believe it will be by default available in
FreeBSD since there are too many opponents, but it's quite possible
that it might be available as an add-on product.  (I have absolutely
no clues about its current status, sorry.)
