I would like to see it in Core for 4.7. The addition is extremely
minimal, like approximately 40 lines of code. Most of which lies in a
couple of RPC call functions I added and some token checking stuff. I
submitted it as a patch. The only thing I am unsure about is safety /
design of calling the drupal session functions directly.
