Description

My use case:

I have a program performing syncing service discovery information to external system. It connects to the event stream of master, and wants to know whether it was the initial "agent reregister window" specified by the `agent_reregister_timeout`, so it can handle disconnected agents more elegantly. To do so it needs to know when the current leader it's streaming from is elected.

anandmazumdar vinodkone, please accept the issue if this sounds a valid use case, and I can work on this. Thanks!
