Also, it's not a matter of enabling but more making a drastic move...
there is a complete infrastructure for switching the underlying handling
of numbers and if there are bugs in the common layer it will influence
traditional mp methods too. As mplib is a core component of luatex/mkiv
it is unlikely that there will be a beta that has not been tested by
taco and me on a bunch of documents that we normally use for testing
drastic changes.
