Blender 2.64 precision modeling?

hello fellow blenderers

i seen couple weeks ago in the blendernews some information about future projects for blender. what caught my attention was developing precision modeling tools .

does anybody knows what precision modeling tools may be or will they be ?
may be as a ruler to measure distance between vertices or edges on different objects or for the same object?

Precision modelling GSOC is all about snapping and the ability to SET precise distances.

There’s no way it’s going to be in 2.64 perhaps not even 2.65
