I note that on the GitHub page, there has since been added a note:
Note: IDLWAVE is currently not maintained. In current form it
supports IDL v8.6, and is still in daily use by some users.
If you are interested in taking over IDLWAVE maintenance, please
post an issue. See the DEVELOP file for information on the file
structure layout.
I'm not sure what this means for the idlwave we ship with Emacs.
JD Smith, do you mind if someone else tries to on merge your external
development efforts into Emacs itself?
