Change Data Capture

Hello,

Is there a plan to integrate Change Data Capture into the database
engine itself?
The "normal" way to track data changes are by doing triggers and
(shadow) tables, but that involves mundane work (plumbing) that the
database engine (presumably) could do better and more effecient.

Best Regards
Jan Johansson
