Ah. Death to #import!
Yes. I'm looking at this, and I think the best thing is to have the
Apple compiler look at inodes, and to remove #import altogether from
the FSF. Any objections?
I don't think we can go quite that fast - #import is an officially
documented feature of Objective-C. For instance, the ObjC reference
that O'Reilly published last month recommends #import and doesn't
say anything about it being deprecated.
I guess someone should contact the author, since it's been deprecated
for a long time now; the CVS archive of cpp.texi says it's been
obsolete since August 1997. The warning that FSF GCC produces dates to
March 2000. So, it's been obsolete for five years, and deprecated with
a warning for three. I think that's long enough.
