Why modeling PCM is not supported in OpenStudio?

Is there any specific reason that there is no phase change material (PCM) either in BCL or any other library in OpenStudio?

Doesn't OpenStudio support modelling the PCMs at all? Because EnergyPlus is capable of doing so and I'm not sure why it is not integrated within the OpenStudio.

Thanks!
