We tend to accept anything that parses the C Standard - even only a part of it - as a viable implementation! For example, static analyzers are viable implementations of the standard, even if they don't produce code.

I think getting this feature into one other implementation and then writing a paper on it would help. Unfortunately, the cutoff for "new papers that must be submitted to be considered for C23" is October, so there's not a LOT of time, so we'd need to find a 2nd implementation quick-fast, and then write the proposal quick-fast too!
