I don't have time to investigate this in details but I'd like to 
mention that this is one of few possible new features where ROI 
is really worth it. It removes lot of burden from core language 
and allows to replace some very arcane template hacks with 
cleaner code. I'd say it is a bit too early to go for it (really, 
we need at least to figure out how to make releases without 
issues first :)) but it is a good future goal even in context of 
general feature freezing.
