Actually, there is no need to keep this PR around. Someone proposed
something very similar lately, and it was squarely rejected on the
gcc mailing list because it doesn't add any expressive power to
the language, i.e. you don't save a lot of typing, and it doesn't
allow one to do things that are otherwise extremely clumsy or impossible.
The conclusion was that gcc isn't going to add small extensions like
this any more because our experience with extensions is just not very
good.
