I'm not certain exactly what you want (didn't read very closely and it
doesn't fall in an area I've worked with) but it is not likely to be in
v6.3.2 since we're already in the freeze period. However, I would
suggest revisiting the subject just after the release, perhaps roping in
others who have worked with large objects (Peter Mount comes to mind).
There will be a ~2 month period for working on new capabilities, and
this might fit into that.
