So the situation seems to be that you have proposed designs which were 
rejected by Geoff, probably because they were either considered 
incomplete or unacceptable.
Obviously you can't expect an alternative from him (does he work for 
you or Apple?), as he mentions he has the time to review stuff for 
inclusion but not to propose designs.

The question for me is how we can resolve the situation to get forward. 
Is there any other GCC maintainer besides Geoff who has the authority 
to review your proposals for inclusion and to mediate between you two?
In case a theoretical "other" also rejects your proposals, can we find 
someone who can come up constructive alternatives people can agree on?

Or maybe Apple can consult (aka pay) Geoff to come up with a 
"constructive alternative"?

It would be disappointing if the work on ObjC++ would fail even though 
there is someone willing to work on the implementation. We are waiting 
_so long_ for that feature ...

best regards,
