I too find it compelling, though I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area.

But I guess it will be hard to get traction if there are not proponents 
in WG21 willing to support the paper. From the last meeting, it seemed 
that one of the EWG comments was that they didn't see how it could be 
implemented. Maybe they didn't realize there's a lib emulation already, 
or perhaps there is a real problem somewhere. It does seem like no 
proponent of this paper was actually at the meeting when the paper was 
discussed.
