--- Comment #9 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-29 19:35:52 UTC --- It's not about being smart enough, most gcc devs have plenty of things to work on so if you want to convince someone yours is worth implementing you should spend a few minutes describing the feature properly (who will benefit? what is the benefit? give a small example program and explain how it would behave with the feaature etc.) If the person requesting a new feature doesn't care enough to spend time describing it clearly why should someone else spend far more time thinking about it and implementing it? I'm just trying to give you advice to improve the chance of someone implementing this - feel free to ignore it, but don't be surprised if the request gets ignored too.
