I wish it were that simple. In as far as I can see, based on the
answers I have received, it seems that the implications of some
of the assumptions being made have not been seriously thought through.

If nothing else, I just don't see how one can claim to be able to
figure out whether something on a stack is a pointer or an address.

A patch won't change things like that.
