It does today, but we should be fixing that this year.  All of the groundwork 
is laid, now we just need to make the actual change.  I've got a branch out 
that gets us 95% of the way there, but I couldn't get it done in time for 2.6, 
so it's gotten a bit musty.

I don't know if it'll be in 2.7, but definitely this year.
