So far I'm not aware of anybody working on it, but can't imagine we'd
reject a change either.

As a workaround there always is <compilerarg> if you want to use options
not explicitly supported.  In particular this will work for the versions
of Ant that have already been released.  We've long stopped adding
attributes for each and every option.  Are there any specific options
you'd like to see supported?
