We have in fact not had this discussion.

The first paper on the topic was tabled by subgroup without explanation
or plenary discussion.  The second paper was ruled out of order without
explanation or discussion.

Why do we want a feature that can be (in fact already is) provided by
directives that essentially every processor respects, or that can be
provided by other mechanisms that already exist (declarations within a
BLOCK construct)?
