Long story short, it si clearly a waste of time. Qualifying the 
process would be an understatement.

Some specifically DIP27 has been written in Feb 2913, following 
various discussion at that time. I pushed it at the time. I moved 
it to the new git DIP repository. Got mostly irrelevant feedback 
(Hi Martin) and more generaly the loop time is measured in month.

I'm doing this on my free time. I have other things to do.

The DIP process is beyond broken. It essentially goes as :
  - If you are Andrei or Walter, then your DIP is just a 
formality. No matter how bad it is, it is in (Hi DIP25, inout 
turned out so great for type qualifier we clearly need that for 
lifetime).
  - If anybody else does it, you have no idea what you are getting 
into. You'll be still there in 5 years with no end in sight.

I've been a sucker for long enough. I'm not playing anymore and 
I'd suggest to anyone playing to stop. I've probably be playing 
longer than pretty much anyone here. Trust the bitter old man, he 
knows.
