Was the skype account support added recently? Didn't see it before

(no idea how to properly add skype contact, but a workaround worked: after adding skype account you can find yourself in people app, text yourself, delete the entry, now in chat app go to the last convo, swipe to the right, pulley-save, add skype nickname of person you want to add, link the resulting people app entry with the other entry, yay, done and seems to work)
