Any hope of documented Themes functionality being release? If not, recommended workaround?

I selected Plates for a recent project partly based on the Themes functionality that is documented on the website, with no indication that it is not available yet. (Yes, it's flagged "3.5," but you have to dig around to learn that 3.5 doesn't exist yet.) Is there any chance of this functionality being released in the near future? (If not, it might be best to consider removing the documentation, or at least very clearly marking it as a planned feature that hasn't been released yet.)

So I hacked together a template hierarchy system using the folders functionality instead, but what I have right now feels a bit kludgey (a wrapper object that adds its own logic before calling render). Is there any recommendation of how to best implement a template hierarchy using the released version of Plates? Is that something that could be done with an extension, or is that beyond the scope of extensions? Or would making an Engine-variant subclass be a cleaner option than a wrapper object?

The ideal scenario would obviously be to just call render() or insert() normally and have the magic happen behind the scenes to find the correct template, but I realize that may not be possible without Themes functionality built-in. Any advice here would certainly be appreciated. Thank you.

This is a brilliant feature. Would be great if the v3.5 be released. Do you guys have any idea about when this could be released? Or do you guys need any help to release it?

Hmm, I'll take a look this evening!
