Can I create a new topic via librdkafka?

[zexa]

I'd like my consumers to automatically create the topic if it does not already exist. Would help to quickly get started with development in a clean Kafka cluster.

Does such a feature exist? I could not find it in the documentation.

If it does not, then what would it take to get something like this added?

I saw https://docs.confluent.io/2.0.0/clients/librdkafka/classRdKafka_1_1Topic.html but I'm pretty sure this is just for the handle rather than being able to somehow send topic creation commands to the Kafka cluster.
