Text outlining and text shadow in titler. Any improvements?

I have already asked for text outlining 2,5 years ago:

So what changed since then? I had some hopes towards 0.7.x but I did not find it. Perhaps I did not look properly.
My humble wish is to have at least text capabilities of the Kino Titler - text outline with selectable width (Kino allows 0-3px) and opacity. This is very handy tool. It ensures that your text will be readable on changing background. This is something even simplest video titler should have!

The workaround I found is to use SVG. But this renders Titler existence questionable. Why not support title clip via SVG straight away. Titler can be "outsourced" to Karbon :) See my another post in brainstorming about it.

Note: In the original reply, 'uchian' stated that text outlining is something very complex, but I have doubts. At least Kino can handle this gracefully for ages.
