MSP432 UART Extension

Does anyone know how to implement  additional hardware based UART pins for the msp432p401r?  I have looked in HardwareSerial.h  where the Serial object is instantiated. There are clues here and also in driverlib's  uart.h.  In uart.h (and uart.cpp) there is a notation for all methods that indicate that they may be called with a parameter (moduleInstance) selecting which hardware serial module to use ie. EUSCI_A0_MODULE, EUSCI_A1_MODULE, EUSCI_A2_MODULE or EUSCI_A3_MODULE. 

There is also a cryptic notatation in the HardwareSerial.cpp file for methods setModule & setPins which states: "/* Change which pins UART is on */    /* need to implement */."

Will this feature be implemented in the next version of Energia?

I know that I can use SoftwareSerial to implement additional UART connections but why waste perfectly good silicon.
