I wouldn't expect it to "mature" much in this regard. At least not any time soon. First, the Gmail app is owned by Google, and by its nature is pretty self-contained and unlikely to rely on any generic platform e-mail mechanism you could intercept. (Think of it the same way as the user using gmail in their web browser on a desktop.) Second, I don't think there is any interest in any time soon having some kind of e-mail content provider or back-end storage that mail apps would use, so the platform's generic e-mail app will remain fairly self contained, and anyway I think it is something that individual devices are likely to significantly customize or outright replace.
