On the other hand, the idea to implement it in Clang without the proposal in WG21 looks like pandora’s box to me.
The committee is sometimes accused of inventing a new language, instead of only standardizing. Giving them some proven "existing practice" to standardize could be a good idea. Especially if it has to do with the "export" keyword. :-)
If we did the second point, the code accepted by clang may not be accepted by other compilers. Although it happens now, we don’t want it to be the case. Further more, I feel it makes the position of WG21 to be in a pretty embrassive position.
