When the C++ Committee meets, they go over and formally respond to submitted 
proposals only. Not mailing list discussions, and the Committee does not 
transform mailing list discussions into formal proposals. (Individual members 
might do so as self-selected champions, but that is not Committee work.)

In no way have I shut down discussion of any ideas on this n.g. You and anyone 
else is free to continue working on deadalnix's ideas, and collaborate here on 
the n.g. I have already posted replies to deadalnix in this n.g. pointing out 
where further work is needed.
