Well, we don't have the limitation of not having enough money to
support this feature. :-) Not doing this, isn't an option for us. We
can either double the cost of it, and maintain it in the
apple-ppc-branch, forever, or, we can try and get it better integrated
into the main compiler. The cost of that is less than maintaining it
in a separate branch. So trivially, we can pay for it, like all
features, if we can't maintain it, it can be removed.
Would you be willing entertain letting it in and let Apple people
maintain it?
I'm hoping there is a way to structure the work such that it represents
a minimal exposure to other maintainers for the benefit it brings our
users.
