It is good you remind me, though I have used:
EgejkiMajki.ly:  \time 3,2,2,3,2 12/8

I made this a very long time ago, and I just made a quick update to illustrate the mixed meter feature in a, so to say, naturally occurring example. It is from a book, which has the time signature 7/8+7/8+11/8, and solid metric bars.

I could not get this working, so I guess it has not been pushed yet!? —But it looks great.
