[Feature request] Theme for Goggle's Material Design Lite (MDL)?

The Material Design specification covers data tables. The recently published (s)css/js/html implementation, Material Design Lite (MDL), supports tables: description and code.
I would very much like a DataTables theme to be added to support MDL. Since a discussion in last December, both design rules and implementation has been added.

Hi,
This is definitely on my todo list. I'm working through a number of large changes at the moment, which once done will hopefully make adding new styling options easier.

Thanks for the great news. Looking forward to it. Best, f_v.
Is there a way for the previous discussion from https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/24854/google-material-design-theme-for-datatables to refer to this discussion? That seems to be the discussion that shows up for me in a google search for DataTables and Material Design. The only way I got to this one was by adding the word Lite.
I've added a link to this discussion now.
At the moment I'm planning on adding Semantic UI support before Material design. Hopefully one will quickly follow the other though! I've made a lot of changes recently to allow new styling libraries to be easier to integrate with DataTables. That release is coming soon.

Hi guys!
This feature has been released?
No. Pull requests welcome tho :-)
Hi, when you're planing to add this? or it's already added?
No time scale for this. Likely Semantic UI will be added first, then this. Can't say exactly when at the moment tho - I'm just starting to arrange my next chunk of work.

For anyone following this discussion, I've just committed an initial integration for DataTables to operate with MDL.

Please ignore, I found an example here (Can I delete my post?)
Does anyone have a demo of the integration with MDL. We are looking at updating our site to support Material Design and are looking for a featured data table.
Thanks.
Example link should anyone else be interested.
To be honest, I didn't find MDL very easy to work with relative to the other styling frameworks DataTables supports. MDL isn't likely to see full support across all of the extensions in the near future I'm afraid (unless someone else wants to do the work for it!).
