Those threads of 500+ posts are usually because the community doesn't
have consensus on what to do. Though if Walter/Andrei are the
only ones against the idea then the thread could be that large. Though
many of the ideas in those threads get snuck into a later release.
I think it is good that Walter pushes back on the community as hard as he
does. It of course would be nice if final decision wasn't packed as a
surprise for the next release (now commit). Who knows maybe next release
will have non-nullable types as the default.
Personally I don't have an issue with the body keyword, nor that order
is mandated. Having a random order to in, out seems pointless.
