Huh? What happened to Chris? FWIW, I do have some followups to that series
sitting locally; need to get that finished (mostly for proper __VA_OPT__
handling; that got stalled on the lovely corner cases where the interplay
with side effects of macro expansion is really nasty - gcc and clang do
not agree and gcc is arguably buggy) and posted.
I've done quite a bit of sparse work over the years, but I would rather
prefer somebody else as overall maintainer, TYVM...
