OK longer answer.

  - is is messed up. It is a massive hack and have to be rationalized.
  - version is a bad version of static if. The static if part of the 
version must go.
  - comma expression is confusing and have very little benefice.
  - out arguments. We can return tuples, out argument is going backward 
in history.
  - many array properties (.sort for instance) are useless and would be 
way better as libs.
