It is possible I was wrong.  Conceptually, this doesn't seem much
different than existing type qualifiers const/volatile, for which case
we must already have a solution.  Maybe similar treatment will work for
named address spaces?

Otherwise, these answers all seem very reasonable.

One more thing occurred to me.  An official patch will also require
documentation.  We will need user documentation to explain the new
source code constructs and their behaviour.  And we will need internals
documentation to explain the new macros, etc.
