The current set of built-in easing function are only those currently
existing on the CSS Animation specification. The idea is to have version 1
on that specification matching what already exist in browsers.

Not yet :-/ ISSUE 7 on the spec propose to improve the cubic-bezier easing
function definition to allow an arbitrary number of point, which allows to
create any useful easing function (I'm all for this extension). Such
extended cubic-bezier function will allow to handle any type of functions,
including elastic and bounce.

+1 on this as it is a well known matter as you point it out.
