I think the main question is: How many breaking changes to the 
*language* will it introduce? Unless I'm missing something, there 
should not be to many besides some template matching special 
cases (alias T vs. T, ...), so I think this would in theory have 
good changes of making it in. However, this all depends on Walter 
being willing to accept such a change to the compiler anyway.
