To me, if you want to launch apps via keyboard something like Gnome Do or Synapse makes more sense. The dock isn't necessarily for quick launching of apps - its design is driven more by mouse interactions and its main focus is on managing running applications.
I am leaving this as a Plank Wishlist for now, but I am leaning towards not implementing this. Docky probably will implement this, however. Mostly because Docky has everything and the kitchen sink, so why not.
