You asked for a superset of what was specified.

I'm sorry about giving that impression, but I literally cannot remotely do what 
everyone asks me to. I'm not Microsoft with 10,000 engineers at my command. And 
your request *did* get eventually implemented.

For another example, `noreturn` was implemented by other than me. It turns out 
to be incomplete. It's now in my lap to fix it. What priority should that get?
