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.
