I am not making this request lightheartedly.
POINTER_PLUS was developed on a branch and went in very cleanly.
I always stressed to my students that that "A good theory is a most practical
thing" I just happen to to a member of Sigma Xi.
from discussions surrounding the release of gcc-4.2.0 there appear to be a
number of unresolved issues concerning gcc-4.2 and the release manager had
serious misgivings. POINTER_PLUS just might help.
