Not just already implemented, but reviewed and merged by existing 
maintainers. It shows the feature was considered by trusted 
colleagues to be worth adding as a preview.

DIPs for semantic features are much easier to review when there's 
an implementation so people can play with the feature and see how 
it interacts with the existing language. Basically the burden 
should be on the advocates to make their case, not on the 
maintainers to investigate an idea.
