Walter is hard to convince on new options. and i believe that he is
right here, 'cause options that changing language semantics are a big
PITAs.

compiler can generate deprecation warning though, which doesn't break
anything. but first we have to convince Walter that given feature must
be deprecated, which is hard too. not 'cause Walter is that stubborn,
but 'cause he wants to see some real-world code that will clearly
benefits from deprecation first. 'cause language that deprecates some
random features with each release is hardly can be considered as
"mature". ;-)
