I don't currently have the energy to continue this, If someone else wants to take it forward feel free.

I'd be interested in pushing this forward along with others, as I don't have the time to do so singlehandedly. It's probably one of the better proposals out there, so hopefully others are interested.

Update: I've just forked the RFC repo and created a stub RFC file. Feel free to file issues & PRs. If you'd like commit access, just send me a message or file an issue.

As I previously stated, I don't have a ton of free time myself, but I can (hopefully) help facilitate the organization. Obviously the first thing that needs to be done is create a basic RFC-style write-up, which could likely be pulled in part from the OP here.

Putting this library here that allows you declare procedural macros inline in a crate.
