Any plans to support new Checklist Feature in Google Docs?

Google Docs released a new featured called Checklists that allows for interactive checkbox bullet lists.

It doesn't appear to be a way to create these via the API, is that correct? Any plans to support?

When I query a doc that has these checklists, they are represented as Bullet points but the Glyph is 'GLYPH_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' and there is no differentiator between the list items that are checked vs the ones not checked.

Looking for a way to create those via the API. thx
