It is about being blind and stubborn to hold opinion different than
yours. And *this* not an opinion but a fact. Got it.

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is not a good idea in personal life, and
is not a good idea in language design. Not everything Joneses have we
should have, just because they do. You have to have better reasons.
Sometimes there are better reasons, and we do borrow all the time. But
doing that *just* because they have it makes little sense. *When* we
decide that it makes sense for PHP, then we can look at how others do it
and see if it translates.
