Making SNMP queries in iRules

From other questions people have asked, it looks like there is no built-in command for SNMP queries that you can make from iRules. Is that still true (running LTM 11.6)?   If that is not possible...

    Running an periodic iCall Job in the Config-Plane to query SNMP and write results to a DG would be a much easier and elegant alternative. No? Dealing with ASN1-BER in iRules isn't much fun... 🙂
