I hope thoroughly that the goal of this branch is attained soon and it 
will be merged back to mainline before stage 2 of gcc 3.5 starts - 
which is proposed for JULY 1st according to Mark Mitchell <mark at 
codesourcery dot com> in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-05/msg01158.html

I don't want to wait another year (which seems to be the approximate 
time between the minor release numbers according to 
http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html#timeline )
