Comment (by Ryan_B):

 I have to ask...why?

 You listed the component as "security" but this would have no impact on
 security. The prefix is not secret and can be found out.  In fact as far
 as I know the only reason they have a customizable prefix is to allow
 running multiple WordPress installs from one database.

 All that to say I would not expect this to be added.
