Although I believe DIP69 is technically sound, it was abundantly clear from the 
thread about it that almost nobody understood it. It was too complicated and 
unintuitive. Andrei convinced me we had to go back to the drawing board.

DIP25 still needs to address things like overloading and inheritance, but I 
think we can just swipe that from DIP69.
