to be honest:

The situation is like we have now a feature nobody gives a shit 
about.
While type functions should have been something big and 
interesting.

I suspect that this feature nobody cares about was motivated by
the newCTFE failure, which has caused a serious trusting issue in 
Stefan work.

I cannot be more honnest. This is really what I think.
