It is the case already. If you use the CExpert object from standard library, there are trailing stop management functions.

That was no specified in the question. While coding you are free to implement any trailing you like (using constant distance, zigzag, important levels, parabolic SAR or other algorithm). This is why it will not most likely be ever available as a built-in function. I'd say that trailing is already supported for a coder. Your requirement is not clear.
