Infinite scrolling of search results?

In the CiviCRM blog post "CiviCRM 4.5 Sneak Peek for Developers", it mentioned that infinite scrolling of search results on auto-complete was coming.  I don't think it exists.  Was this cut?  Is it going to appear at some point?

It exists everywhere except for in the CiviCRM menubar, which doesn't use select2.

Hmm, OK - I did some more testing.  Contact Reference fields seem not to be using the same widget as, for instance, the "With Contact" field on an Activity.  Also, the "To" widget on a "Send Email" activity is Select2-enabled, but doesn't use the same widget.  In addition to the infinite scrolling not being enabled, the contact icon doesn't appear.

Is this a small enough fix that if I submitted a patch for a point release, it'd be accepted?

Not just "for instance", it's literally just that field that's weird. I tried hard to migrate that one to EntityRef and it's a fundamental problem with the civicrm API that it doesn't support searching on joins - in this case the correct api would be "email" but the search field is "contact.sort_name" - there's no way I know of to make it work.
