I do have my own fork (local, not git).

I've made some minor changes here and there over time.

I only use my fork. I think its the version right before ImportC 
was added ;-)

Even if a DIP were successful, I would not expect it to be 
prioritised over more pressing matters.

Additionally, since its a volunteer commmunity, people will 
choose what they want to work on - so someone would actually have 
to 'volunteer' to implement it. I doubt that would be Walter, and 
in any case, he certainly has enough on his plate... for the 
forseeble future.....

So passing a DIP, and having it implemented, are two **very 
completely different** things. Let's not conflate them.
