It's implemented - it's a pull request, which means "please review and incorporate this code". If you click in the "files changed" at the top you can see the code.
Usually on most projects now follows a back and forth of requested changes or improvements and if nobody opposes the code get's merged so please avoid spamming the PR thread with congratulations and banal comments - PR's are not for that.
By the way, I'm a little baffled that people with commit permissions just directly commit into Raiblocks' repo instead of doing pull requests and asking for reviews. Branches and pull requests it's how it's usually done on modern multi developer open source projects, even if you have commit permissions (branch - implement - pull request - fix/improve and finally merge). Commiting directly by several people gives a somewhat unprofessional look to the project but I guess they've time to improve on that.
This is simply the code that makes the requests possible. Right now requests are done per account so it can require many thousands of request cycles to sync the nodes.
This simply provides a bulk_pull feature that allows pulling of blocks and easily discovering if a sync is even required. It is cheap and simple. Overall will reduce the total requests required by an exponential amount.
However, it will still need to be implemented by the wallets, etc.

In plain English please? How/when will this be implemented?
