Way better according to which criteria? IMO to realy make something like
this you would need a one and a half loop. But although at some time there
was a strong indication it would get included, the idea was eventually
discarted.
So I'll argue for incremental better if I see a possibility. A few incremental
betters can eventually result in something that is way better than the original.
According to any criteria you like. Remember, the onus is not on the
status quo to justify itself; the onus is on someone who wants to make
a change.
Then don't answer that I can justify it according to any criteria I like.
It will have to be done according to criteria that are important to the
people who like the status quo. That it will be justified according to
criteria I like, will be totally unimportant.
Demonstrate that a change is needed by showing the benefits.
Nothing is needed. But the walrus operator wasn't needed either. Asking to
show something is needed is putting a burden on who wants to advocate for
this, that isn't put on others.
