Implemented on git master by 1c25347edb6c76e9659fd882ddcd6f4174026ed7 with 2e6bbee7390143f61d9925e586b1351bf20f7c7d to adjust the testcase to be more efficient and 045d44fda818afed431c6c69e3e1a935953f212e to use false/true not 0/1 for bool literals.
The motivation for this was to allow things like A/B testing for mining relevance judgements, so it's really a building block for future work - I don't think there's a strong motivation to backport this to 1.4.x at this point.
