Oh, you got me. Guess the project's a bust. Everyone, go home; I'll postpone the release until mid-January of next year and make sure I support things we don't need.
Like I said, GCC warns on them. It ignores them in doing so. You have to flip a special switch to enable them.

Ism and I discussed having an option for them as G++ does. I can devote fifteen minutes of my day to adding them in conditionally as long as she can support them in the code editor. I don't want any surprises, particularly involving escaped newlines outside of macros.
We've already removed preprocessors from them for simplicity (though you can use macros as defined elsewhere, of course). If she adds the option and the highlighting (for escaped comments at the very least), they'll be in. As it stands, we're already behind on C++-strings, which is why they too are supported optionally. The code my end for either is simple; hers, not so much.

That textbox will just trick users into thinking something wasn't commented, when it is. Hopefully a checkbox would filter that out from happening, but...
You know, I myself would happily leave trigraphs to fall to antiquity. It's true; basically no one does use them. If they did, maybe GCC wouldn't make you pass a flag to enable them, rather than having you pass one to disable them.
We're pretty close to a release. Too much so to be thinking about this sort of thing now, anyway. Bring it back up when you have someone that actually wants them. Or when Ism and I are long caught up with everything else and are looking bored.

Serious or no, they're still a consideration. I can't think of a good reason to support them, even if ISO still finds them useful.
