Comment (by simonpj):

 The biggest single problem is that RC1 has been out some weeks; RC2 is due
 today; full release next week.  Moreover the person (Pedro) who was
 working on this area is probably heads-down on his ICFP submission
 (deadline 1 March).  There was quite a bit of email traffic on this at the
 time all this was nailed down (months ago) and no objections.

 I'm honestly not sure of details of your proposal.  Do you want to modify
 libraries only, or the compiler as well?  Would you like to make a patch?

 Simon
