Does this actually put things into the automatic patch queue if you 
don't cc to the patches@gcc list?

(For that matter, how does one look at the patch queue?)

I'd like to put in a small note, for when you start thinking about this, 
that one of the things on my gfortran "wish list" is an option to 
initialize all variables to some exceptional value (e.g., NaN for reals) 
rather than null.  Perhaps that would also be a not-too-difficult 
extension of this?
