Let's suppose you had already changed match.c(gfc_match_allocate).
I would need to deal with your modification when I rewrite a large

Who is going to reviewer your patches?  That's extra work for someone.

"they will never be useful for regular compiling"

How many lines of code are you modifying/adding/deleting?  A ball park
figure will do.

I think you know my vote.
