The C1x timetable has us finishing the draft for an initial ballot this
summer (the April Florence meeting being the last chance to submit new
material). The best expert I know on the type based aliasing stuff is
Clark Nelson at Intel (clark.nelson@intel.com). We did spend a
considerable amount of time at the recent Santa Cruz meeting discussing
this subject ... see N1409 and N1422 (the minutes including a summary of
the discussion on N1409).
