Formatting Progress while writing an Answer

On SE, as we write our answers the formatted text appears below it; a what-you-see-is-what-you-get image.

That helps me, at least, tell if I have unclosed Bold or Italics, if my links are working, if my line spacing is correct, etc.

I just noticed, writing an answer to a question, that we don't have that here.

Is it a planned feature?

(I also notice, when writing a META question, that it still requires a tag to be specified; even though that might not be apropos. I chose "editing" but I wouldn't want this question to appear when somebody is looking for hints on self-editing their novel.)
