Yes, sorry, I meant to send an update last weekend about it,
to say that I would look at them soon, and I was so busy that
I forgot. There was still a bit of a misunderstanding over how
the patches should be split (IMO), but I will simply take the
first patch, which is IIRC the nerve of the series, and start with
that, and explain precisely how some of the other pieces should
be merged into that.
Expect me to look into them this coming weekend. The reason for
the delays is that I have to think over an issue I mentioned
previously, which is the fact that we can't augment the size
of struct type * for _all_ types when only a handful really
need them. We need to find a way to limit that increase, because
"struct type" is one of the types where the size of the struct
is extremely sensitive.
