Note that one way to help with a "feature that is very important" to oneself without compiler experience is to help write test cases (even better if it includes the necessary `dejagnu` markup). Corner cases are typically the trickiest to handle and filling it out ahead of time is likely very helpful to whoever does end up working on it. Indeed, because you're (likely) different from the feature implementer, you can help fill in blind spots that may be missed otherwise. It would also be useful to be somewhat systematic about it as well and take notes on what, specifically, is being tested in each case as well as where known gaps in the test cases exist. --Ben
