- I'm personally working on some patches in my (limited ;-) spare time.
- I suspect it won't get added into GNU emacs until I finish, since as
- far as I know, c++-mode is the first (and only?) mode that needs this
- functionality. Once I finish implementing it, verify that it works,
- and submit it, its up to the emacs maintainers as to when it gets
- added to the default distribution. I'm pretty close, BTW; just a few
- little glitches with scan_lists (from syntax.c) when searching
- backwards. Any internals hackers who wanna help are welcome!

- My c++-mode.el has been assigned to FSF so hopefully it will someday
- become part of the distribution. Also, c++-c-mode which comes with
- c++-mode.el 2.195 can be used to edit C code, though I doubt it will
- become the default for emacs. Advantage: you can use the save
- variables to format C and C++ code. Disadvantage: not completely
- compatible with c-mode.el.
