I don't mind it but I see you guys are still discussing what would be
the better solution here, on the gcc ML. And we, as one user, are a
happy camper as long as it does what it is meant to do. But how the
feature looks like syntactically is something for gcc folk to decide as
they're going to support it for the foreseeable future and I'm very well
aware of how important it is for a supportable feature to be designed
properly.

Thx.
