Given your status as a member of the Foundation, is there a 
plan/track of sorts to convert such a DIP-less -preview feature 
to a full-fledged one? I know it's a lot of work to write an 
improvement proposal, and deliberation with the community is a 
seemingly tiring (but necessary) ordeal, but I'm concerned that 
this feature will be in purgatory if its author becomes busy or 
forgets about it. (Barring another individual assuming 
proprietorship.)
