It seems this functionality is only relevant for really ancient
protocols such as netbeui, as Alan mentioned.

The implementation would go in those protocols, the code for
which hasn't been touched substantially for years.  It is
unclear whether those protocols are even functional at this
time. :-)

So expecting an implementation in the next few months depends
upon someone standing up and actively working on those rotting
code bases.
