I'm not angry at all, I just wanted to focus in on a discussion that is
relevant to the internals mailing list. Most of the ideas here, including
the ones I've proposed, come from our own experiences and there's nothing
wrong with that. But I didn't see anything that looked like a discussion
and I wanted to be clear about what I think this list is for, and what kind
of discussions might be productive.

I don't think that what you are talking about would be very useful, because
I expect that it would be complicated for very little benefit. But if you
think this is a way to improve the language, then I would listen. I just
wasn't hearing that.

It is also possible I am not understanding very well.
