I'm certainly not, either. Looking back over the original thread, there were a
number of features talked about. I think Larry's list here captures most of
them:
"Clearly it'll be 3.5+ only, and clearly it'll be a specific list of
features ("C89 but also permitting //-comments, variadic macros,
variable declarations on any line, inline functions, and designated
initializers"). But I'm looking forward to it!"

So, if that set of features seems reasonable, perhaps the next step is for
someone (not me) to put together a test patch that incorporates the use of them
and then we can run it against the buildbots, either by using the special build
buildbots or just temporarily checking the patch in. I'm willing to do the
testing and results-gathering if a patch is supplied.
