Since you don't provide references to this I had to go searching for
it. All I find is some discussion from 8 months ago, and quite a bit
of that seems to have been about changing bindings, and some about the
preprocessor behavior. Also, the patches seem to have been too big to
make it out on the lists.

I'd like a fresh look from DT people on this just to make sure no
opinions have changed -- lots of things have changed in the last 8
months w.r.t. DT.

I've pinged them on IRC, let's see if they wake up. Adding explicit cc too.
