A new feature would be difficult - every artist will want to finesse it
differently, and there's no clear one best way, even if if allowed several
parameters.

Better:  Use texture map to make the ground plane turn transparent at far
distances, letting the sky sphere (or whatever the distant background is) show
thru.   Or use scattering media in a huge torus occluding the horizon.  

Many clever solutions to the dark horizon problem may be found in the IRTC
entries - www.irtc.org
