 Normally we need to have a working implementation for at least one
platform + samples + docs for a new feature. This ensures that:

a) This will actually be useful (at least to people using this platform)
b) People will know about it (because it is documented)
c) Future implementations for the other platforms will have existing test
   code and so it will be easier to check that they work as intended by
   comparing the behaviour with the reference platform

 So, if possible at all, I'd really like to proceed like this here as well.
