Depends on what you mean by "approved".

He commented once on the newsgroup after I posted an earlier version of 
the patch, saying I should add tests for type deduction and some other 
stuff. This change his something he attempted to do in the past and 
failed, I expect him to be skeptical. I guess he'll review it when he 
has the time and I hope he'll merge these changes in the mainline. 
He'll probably want to take his time however, since it can break 
existing code in some cases; it's basically a change to the language.

If you want to show your support, I guess you can vote up the 
enhancement request in the bugzilla.

Also feel free to compile it, test it, and share your experience. The 
more tested it is, the more used and appreciated it is, the more 
exposure it gets, the sooner it gets approved, or so I guess.
