Wow, thanks. I think I will.

The only time-relevant issue I have is that if adopted as written 
now, DIP1035 may preclude the investigation of what I'm 
proposing, since it uses a single compiler bit for all `@system` 
variables, whereas I realized in my prior 
[post](https://forum.dlang.org/post/sflhxuliqgrtmfgzldrd@forum.dlang.org) that I needed to expand my proposal to two bits — one for `@system`-initialized, and one for `@system`-variable.

Even if adopted, however, it should be rather effortless to 
expand the underlying implementation of DIP1035 if what I'm 
saying ever proves compelling to actually consider. So it's 
really not that urgent, but I at least wanted to voice my concern 
now to establish precedent. (Again, I realize that my proposal is 
either nuts or misunderstood, depending on who's looking at it.)
