Can I use create2 to deploy minimal proxies in solidity, without using assembly?

Question

Solidity 0.6.2 allows the creation of contracts with the create2 opcode via the new keyword and passing a salt in addition to any args. This is adequate for creating standard contracts, but what if I want to deploy minimal proxies as per eip-1167? I can't see a way to pass in the creation bytecode for the proxy, with the template's address included. I know how I can do this with inline assembly, but it would be nice if I didn't have to!

Not a proper answer but you should find that openzeppelin-CLI helpfull

npx oz create2 --query --salt 12345 --network development
