I have to write a DIP and have it approved.

I am already starting as this one is much simpler than the type 
function project.
Essentially the changes to the core language spec is just a few 
lines.

I suspect the runtime documentation will be more challenging.
But for that at least I have already specified a data-structure 
of there is not much variability to take into account.

I cannot give a definitive timeline but I would hope for this to 
go in before 2022 is over.
