Has Zack succeeded in changing the language definition to not include
#import? I suspect not. Is there still a significant majority still
using #import? I suspect so. This makes as much sense as removing the
preprocessor from C++. Sounds like a nice idea, but, in reality, isn't
such a good idea.
I turned on the GCC warnings against #import on gnustep-make on March
4th, so in the last nearly 6 months every GNUstep user/developer has
been
verbosely warned whenever he was using #import.
And what % of Objective-C users does the above represent? 90%, 99%? I
suspect not.
I think #import removal has to be OKed by Stan and Zem before it is
done. And, I suspect they'd say, no. So, I don't see any point in
pretending that it can happen or would be OKed.
