possible request for new function to elliptic curves section


Would it be possible to have a new function added to GP Pari, such that supplying just the x-coordinate for an elliptic curve would return a 0 or a 1 depending upon whether or not x is a legitimate value? This is very similar to ellisoncurve(E,p) but p = [x,y] and both x,y must be known. I am asking just for something like

ellxok(E,x) = 0,1 depending upon whether or not x is a legitimate value creating a rational y value

or ellxonE(E,x) or something like this?
