The author listed "wide pointers" in the second paragraph of things they are impatient for, and would like a faster release cycle for. It sounds like it could be another 10 years.

The original authors of the language also advocated for this, and Walter Bright's D compiler has a BetterC compiler that also includes a

int arr[..];

syntax for such things. But, our plates are full and the proposal wasn't written: it'll be up for next release, for sure, and it's one of the many things I would like to put in the language.
