I want to implement the unnamed substructure extension (section 3.3 here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/compiler.html). As far as I know, that
is the only other extension required for the Go standard library.

I don't know how receptive the Go folks would be to that. Also, since their
compiler supports the extensions unconditionally I'd imagine there may need to
be some process changes on their end to avoid accidental use of the extensions.

There's also the point that GCC decided to implement the needed extensions
rather than change the standard library.

Thanks,
