No no, that's not what we are talking about here at all, no
official new standard activity has been started. However, the
ARG is considering individual AI's that discuss recommended
extensions, including e.g. useful pragmas and attributes as
this case.

These recommendations will be approved by WG2.1, but do not
constitute an official modification of the standard (the
word official in Tom's post was confused).

However, in practice, there is sufficient vendor and user
input into the process that once they are approved, they
are likely to be implemented in a reasonably uniform way.
