Walter isn't necessarily the one we have to convince in this 
case. He'll be very concerned about avoiding breaking existing 
code, so we'd need a solid transition plan, but he very much 
wants to get rid of autodecoding, so he'll welcome it if we can 
do it cleanly. The bigger problem is convincing Andrei, since he 
seems to think that even discussing the issue is a waste of time 
and takes away from more important topics. And I don't dispute 
that there are other important topics, and coming back to this 
one over and over again is arguably a problem, but if we can just 
figure out how to make the transition and get it over with, then 
it wouldn't need to keep getting discussed like this.
