In general,
when making a feature request to a compiler vendor, having a
digestible snippet of code that demonstrates the problem goes a long
way, much further than "clone this branch of my fork of this project
and do a build and something goes wrong somewhere."  We're too busy to
do that, please take the time to isolate it before making such
requests.
