Statsd support for Timer metric type?

I see from the [documentation][1] that Splunk currently supports statsd metric types Gauge and Counter. Are there plans to support Timer in the near future? Is there a documented method for perhaps emulating this type in current support? In particular, we would like to send latency metrics to the statsd endpoint in Splunk.
