Although existing GCC devs may not find this feature interesting enough to
implement it themselves, a nice, small patch properly submitted together with a
convincingly argued rationale may get accepted. It seems this feature is being
used not only by Chromium but also by LibreOffice, and many GCC users would
still like to keep using GCC for building those programs.
Many features that were initially rejected have been later accepted (e.g.,
color diagnostics). It just needs someone to get behind the idea and push for
it in the right way.
