Thanks.
I noticed some things do take time.. the thing is that without any
feedback is hard to guess whether something was forgotten, or wheels are
set in motion...
Let me put it another way: I've looked at mantis, the fpc mailing list
and the fpc-devel mailing list... is there some other place people can
keep track of this without having to pester devs to check whether their
pet peeve has been fixed already... instead of yesterday, which is
universally accepted as the proper date of implementing one's*) requests ;)
That would probably be a universe where the higgs-particle does not exist,
and things can proceed at light speed.
To be clear: my remark was not meant as 'annoyed' or whatever.
Laconic is more what I had in mind.
To anwser your question about the 'other place':
There is no other place. You did fine asking on this mailing list.
The sole reasons this takes time is that
a) it is a very invasive change, and we are by nature prudent.
b) I am a busy man, and simply didn't bring up the subject yet as I had
promised.
It would not do to just apply/enable every patch at the whim of a person.
The compiler would become unstable/unusable very quickly, and there would
be no end to the complaints.
But we'll get there.
Michael.
