Lawrence Crowl (in collaboration with Diego I think)  has a proposal
based on PPH.  Lawrence knows best the proposal number.

It was already pointed out that David Vandevoorde has a proposal
slightly different from Clang's.

At the Fall 2012 Portland meeting, people from CERN expressed concerns
about Clang's implementation and have been working with Clang people
to get their proposed modifications integrated; it is not clear to me
whether they have made progress on that or whether they are going to
formally put forward a fourth formal proposal.  As Doug just
indicated, there is going to be another proposal based on Clang's
current implementation -- which is different from the document
referred to earlier.
