If you truly wanted to convey that, you did a good job. But I do 
wonder how you expected me to take that. I would not reply "Got 
it, be right back, I'll e-mail Mike immediately and cancel this 
DIP and terminate all my effort so far right here.". Not after 
three comments in review round 1.

Even if this DIP is a failure, we could at least try to salvage 
some lessons from it. Why is it a bad DIP? What criteria should a 
language feature have to be candidate for removal, and why don't 
context-sensitive string literals fit those criteria? What 
sources of language complexity can be removed instead?
