I doubt very much that something like DataMapper would ever get included in the core of CodeIgniter. It has a pretty heavy overhead if it isn't something you want to use (e.g.: loading all of your models into memory).
CodeIgniter has a fairly well rounded extension mechanism, though. The openness of the mechanism is what allows something like CodeIgniter, or the other ORM toolkits, to be built. If they declared a specific model, or specific library, format, it would significantly limit the ability to write something like DM.

Im not sure what you mean by pretty heavy overhead...other frameworks (like rails) have the features that come with datamapper/dmz built in
