This is quite interesting. Manu comes in from basically nowhere and 
fairly quickly manage to convince Walter to implement at least two 
feature requests, this one and the SIMD support. I'm not saying that 
they shouldn't have been implemented. Although I think something like 
AST macros could possible solve issue 8108 and a whole bunch of other 
features, a few already present in the language.
