Typo, I meant "don't"... Sloppy of me. Documentation is nice, but:

1. People will complain that it isn't possible.

2. When possible people will complain that it isn't in the 
standard library.

3. When in "std" people will complain that not enough libraries 
use it.

4. When libraries use it people will complain that it doesn't 
work with older libs.

5. When older libs have been rewritten to support it they will 
complain that it is better in Rust and C++ and not compatible 
with Rust and C++.

Anyway, my main point is that programmers coming from such 
languages will most certainly complain if it isn't in the 
standard library because of interoperability between libraries, 
but that is basically just the bottom of the hill that you have 
to climb to get to a level where people stop complaining.
