My gut feeling is it will require some time to stabilize, grow the 
required features and whatnot, with associated churn. Then it's better 
to put into master.

But I can just as well be wrong on this subject, and being able to take 
advantage of this feature will be pretty nice.

Speaking of improvements for release, though, have you thought about the 
other idea, the "faster syntax-ppss"? It shouldn't require changes to 
public-facing infrastructure (or very little; like un-obsoleting 
syntax-begin-function). Though whether it will require new constants or 
not, I cannot say.
