No, it is easy, we just need a low cost solution by which people can use the normal accessors. Once that is provided, then I think it is easy to change the underlying bits. Though, it is kinda sad that 20 years later, things are still as they were, with no improvement. I wish the steering committe would find a way to allow improvements to be made more easily in this area. I would have checked in my changes to support -g3 debugging if it were easier. I'll note, I'm not the first person to do the work, just the last.
