+1 to getting rid of the comma operator. (OK, just deprecation, but
that's a good step.) I always felt it's one of those unnecessary
holdovers from C. We don't need a comma operator. The only use cases
I've ever seen of it is in specific contexts (such as for-loops) where
suitable, relatively confined, syntax extensions would take care of
everything without the invasiveness of having an entire operator.
