actually, the implementation that's there-but-commented-out is 
incorrect --- specifically, the for() loop is buggy.  IIRC, it was part 
of a largish set of "obscure" APIs for which we decided it was better 
to punt than to release in a buggy state.  do recall that the bindings 
are API frozen, as we did an insane amount of work in preparation for 
that; some things had to slide.

at any rate, a fixed and tested version awaits you, along with dozens 
of other obscure bits, in cvs HEAD, which is languishing without a 
1.050 release merely because of a lack of sufficient evening time on my 
part to roll a release.  i place the blame squarely on my children, who 
are too young to defend themselves in this matter.  :-)
