Posts to comp.std.c++ get listened to if they are sensible. Suggestions and problems from there are frequently forwarded to the committee's mail reflectors. You can also contact your national standards body. The more complete a proposal is the more likely it is to get considered (and one-liner asking for a new feature, but expecting others to do the work, will generally be ignored.) But it's far too late to introduce new features to C++0x, and the committee are busy trying to get a new standard out. Feel free to suggest it for the next revision of the standard when work begins on that. The C++ modules proposal (which has been shelved until after C++0x) is probably the right way to address the problem you describe.
