[Paraview] VTK_BIQUADRATIC_PYRAMID?

It appears that VTK has a 13-node pyramid element type
(VTK_QUADRATIC_PYRAMID) but no analogous 14-node pyramid.  The 14th
node would be at the center of the square base, and would
theoretically allow one to make a conforming transition from a
VTK_TRIQUADRATIC_HEXAHEDRON to a VTK_QUADRATIC_TETRA element.

Are there any plans to add such an element, and if not, is it a task
that a complete VTK novice could even hope to undertake?

Thanks,
John
