--- Comment #18 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <lopezibanez at gmail dot com> --- A large patch will often get lost in comments and revisions unless the submitter is very insistent and committed. If you want to get this moving, my advice would be to split out the smallest piece possible (string + char literal) and just submit that for review. Once that is committed, then look for the next smallest step and repeat.
