 No idea.  I've had a peek at the patch though and it groups unrelated 
changes together and also mixes obvious semantics fixes (missing `const' 
qualifier) with semantic changes (`i_arg' removal) which may need further 
consideration.  I think splitting that proposal into ~3 self-contained 
changes may rise the likelihood of at least the critical parts being 
accepted.
