Not during feature freeze for 1.4.0.

Folks, we have something like a 6-month release cycle (details on
developer.r-project.org) and it's amazing how often we get feature
requests just prior to a release.

I presume there are other methods needed: I thought lowess had to a
large extent been superseded by loess.
