Comment (by cal@…):

 Since this is an enhancement, it will get released with the next non-patch
 version of MacPorts we release, which would be MacPorts 2.4.0. You can
 help out by installing a development version of MacPorts, testing and
 reporting any bugs you find. See
 https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.subversion for
 instructions on installing a development version.

 Note that while you can upgrade your current installation to a development
 copy, you can not downgrade due to changes we do to the database on
 upgrade. If you do not want to switch your MacPorts installation to the
 development version, install the development copy into a separate prefix
 (pass `--prefix=$value` to `./configure`).


 Additionally, we may want to discuss offering the possibility to create
 symlinks from `$prefix/bin/bzip2` to `lbzip2` or `pbzip2` and the same for
 `gzip`/`pigz`. This could be done using a `bzip2_select` and `gzip_select`
 port.
