I don't think any of his patches have been accepted by GCC, so I'd say
his arguments must not be very good.  It's easy to see why: I downloaded
_Pha:nomenologie des Geistes_ from Project Gutenberg and it won't even
compile.  There are in fact an astonishing number of the most basic
syntax errors; it reads like something written by someone who didn't
know C at all.  Really atrocious coding, plus the comments are in
German.

Besides, we already have a Hegelian dialectic in GCC (C: thesis, C++:
antithesis, Java: synthesis), so what do we need him for?
