Major changes have been made, but the meeting is still in progress.
How do you expect anyone to tell you what the final outcome is ? 

Pointers are in. KIND= for logical is in. && more

Meetings begin at 8am, go until perhaps 5. Subcommittes meet all
night.

Because no answer can sensibly be made until the work is done. If, for
example, you had commented on how much you liked the way memory
allocation was done (or how much you hated it and wanted a pointer) 
it was impossible to craft you an answer...since this meeting spent a
huge amount of time discussing and voting the issues. 

Formal letters to commentors must be voted on by the committee, so
they too will take up agenda time.

Synopsis of the meeting will almost certainly be posted. Probably by
one of the more talented writers.

I was not in continual attendence, so I am unfit to prepare one.
