That's great. I think right now hello-c is in conceptual development,
so implementors will have to wait a little bit to see what it looks
like. Perhaps Luis can chime in on any comments he has? Speaking for
myself, I know I'd appreciate any comments you'd have on the design of
fetter. An initial design document should be appearing in a couple of
days, so after that's out, perhaps you'd like to comment on it?

Sincerely,
