It is not implemented.

Please do share ;) I haven't given this a lot of thought -- mostly
because the current duali implementation is not what I had in mind for
duali. Unfortunately the data set required to implement the algorithms I
have in mind (some of which are implemented but useless without the
data) is not available and not easy to create.

Yes, this is being worked on. Currently MYousif is getting rid of some
of the dependencies in order to continue work with an absolute minimum
set of dependencies.
