Will teakin add progressive timing to the ESC?

Example, I set max sofeware timing at 60% The starts the timing at a lower value and advances the timing to the max set point as the RPM increases. This feature would be good for fine tuning a motor to a track that is technical. Should make the motor more efficient or powerful through the whole RPM range for stronger finishes at the end of the race. The timing progression could have 5 values: two for NegativeExpo, One for Linear, Two more for Positive Expo.

I don't know how to base the timing progression but RPM comes to mind first, but that will require inputing the max rpm of the motor by the use into the ESC. If that is complicated, just make the timing based on the Throttle and Elasped time. The elsaped time helps smooth out the timing progression as the car accelerates from lower RPM if the Racer just hammers down each time.
