The vote has now closed.  The final result is:

Yes; 29
No: 20
Percentage: 59.1%

It has not passed.  Thank you everyone for your involvement.

I'd like to bring this RFC back in the future in some form if either a less complex implementation or a stronger use case to justify the implementation can be found.  That would be a topic for a different thread at a different time.
