I actually remember there was some good discussion on this and there were pretty decent reasons for why this patch was not a full solution and only syntactic sugar, i.e. it didn't do what many expected except for making the syntax nicer. Don't have time right now but we should go back and re-read those discussions before opening a new one. I can probably do it over the next couple of days. I am not necessary against supporting such a solution but we need to make sure it's fully baked and that we clear know and agree on what is and what isn't supported (and that should be documented and not revisited every time someone comes and complains). Variable binding is one thing which would likely not make it into such an implementation unless there's a big shift in the intent of the patch.
We really need to get away from this "let's just commit it" mode on this list. As you saw with garbage collection, namespaces and other recent topics a lot of these topics need significantly more work before they are full baked and ready to actually make it into the code base. The ad-hoc way of committing new features just doesn't work.
