The Netherlands will vote for this.  BTW, this will be a matter of 
technology-push, if demand-pull won't show up.

My paper describing the implementation in GNU fortran is only 6 pages, 
and most people on the GCC summit understood the concept quite easily 
(even though I'm the only Fortran expert in a crowd of 120).

I haven't formed an opinion on that one yet.

Kind regards,
