This is internally supported in 3.7 but not tested and most likely will not
be implemented in the released version (i.e. the support is there* but we
would not necessarily enable it via the user interface or command-line since
it would require more testing and possibly delay the final release).

Once the source code is released it's possible** someone will add it.

* 3.7 is based on a 'scene/view' model where the act of parsing a scene is
  completely separate from rendering it (via a view). the view determines
  the camera location and type, output resolution, AA, and so forth.

** possible == 'next to certain' in this case IMO.
