(1) The was an implementation, not a specification
(2) That was someone else’s work, not a specification
(3) This is a link to GPL code
(4) You’ve posted GPL code previously, I can’t assume this is not either

The fact that you posted links to GPL’d code means I’m loathe to follow any code link you provide at all. I would not expect posting links to my code in clang to be any more acceptable.

So far you have not provided a specification, presented someone else’s work, posted links to non-ISO IP compliant code, post more links to code that I cannot trust, and even if I did it would not matter as an implementation is not a specification, no matter how much you will it to be so.

Anyway, I’m done dealing with these threads from you, and only you. You frequently resort to insults and personal attacks, and have shown no willingness to accept or address feedback on your continued lack of providing specifications. I don’t know why you don’t want to do the bare minimum work involved in a proposal if you actually do want to make changes or improvements to the language, but given you’ve been given that feedback from multiple people, multiple times, in multiple threads, and have not changed your behavior I have to assume at this point you aren’t going to.

For that reason I’m going to stop following std-proposals for a few months. You’ve single handedly rendered it a waste of my time, and I have more important things to do in my job than wasting my time trying to help someone who is unwilling to learn or change.
