iJon Anthony asks

"I don't think I could over emphasize my strong agreement with this!
What is the story on actually getting this adopted?
"

(talking about a solution to the circularity problem)

I don't see any chance of officially (i.e. at the ISO level) adopting a
modification to the  ISO standard any time soon (say any time in the next
few years).

So what we are looking at here is more like an informal agreement to 
provide a non-standard extension. This can be done either completely
informally, or perhaps the ACE can be stretched a little to encompass
the idea of semi-recognized non-standard extensions.

But first, we need to agre on a technical approach (I note that Tuck
has changed his mind on this since we last discussed it). Actually
I prefer Tuck's previous suggestion of "with type", because it makes
it more honestly clear that this is indeed an extension, than
trying to somehow fit it into the pragma semantics, but I think
we need to discuss that. Perhaps the next ARG meeting can find a little
time to discuss it.
