It seems this functionality is only relevant for really ancient protocols such as netbeui, as Alan mentioned. The implementation would go in those protocols, the code for which hasn't been touched substantially for years. It is unclear whether those protocols are even functional at this time. :-) So expecting an implementation in the next few months depends upon someone standing up and actively working on those rotting code bases.
