It was added now.

feedkeys( {string} [, {mode}]) Number add key sequence to typeahead buffer
feedkeys({string} [, {mode}]) *feedkeys()*
Characters in {string} are queued for processing as if they
come from a mapping or where typed by user. They are added to
the end of the typeahead buffer, thus if a mapping is still
being executed these characters come after them.
The function does not wait for processing of keys contained in
{string}.
To include special keys into {string}, use double-quotes
and "\..." notation |expr-quote|. For example,
feedkeys("\<CR>") simulates pressing of the Enter key. But
feedkeys('\<CR>') pushes 5 characters.
If {mode} is absent, keys are remapped.
{mode} is a String, which can contain these character flags:
'm' remap keys. This is default.
'n' do not remap keys
't' handle keys as if typed; otherwise they are handled as
if coming from a mapping
Return value is always 0.
