And yes... this.
This is the truth that has ruined my career.
There was a time when I used to be happy; ignorance is bliss ;)

That said, most of my problems I personally care about are purely
artificial. We could make ref work, we could make namespaces work, it
wouldn't hurt anybody. The power is yours, and yours alone. Everyone
else is behind it... you're the only gatekeeper ;)
const however... that's another kettle of fish, and I'm slowly
becoming sympathetic to the complaining that I've been watching here
for years, which I've somehow managed to resist being sucked into for
a very long time.
