Well, the good news is that while this was being debated here, the ARG
was meeting in Vienna. And we approved (to my great surprise)
AI-00217-04. So we have a "final" solution. How long it will be before
it starts showing up in compilers I don't know (several vendors have
worked on it, but whether it will be available in their compilers soon I
can't say).

(I haven't posted the final update to the AI yet.)
