Can I get progress messages from a submit operation?

Question

I'm using Perforce's P4API.NET to programmatically submit a large branch operation and would like to be able to provide my users with some feedback.

When using the command-line p4 client, there's a -I option for getting progress reports. Is there any way to get these reports with the API?

I'm using r13.1 but can upgrade if necessary.

The progress reports are exposed in the C++ API via the ClientProgress class:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4api/chapter.methods.html#clientuser.createprogress

This was added to the C++ API in the 2012.2 release:

Major new functionality in 2012.2

    New ClientUserProgress class which shows Textual progress
    indications.  New methods in ClientUser (CreateProgress,
    and ProgressIndicator).  See api documentation for details.

but there is not an analogous interface yet in the .NET API.
