I generally agree with you. But his idea of language extension 
looks very nice, and as I think is similar to tendency in D make 
some features part of library (e.g. octal numbers, complex 
numbers). And verbalize such concept can make this tendency 
sharper and clearer and possible more productive.

The last Andrej proposal for allocators may become example of 
such "language extension". D specifies interface of allocators 
and introduce reference implementation, but for example embeded D 
provide other implementation.
