Maybe... But from the discussions on the forum it rather seems 
that the problem is not the features being rejected but the speed 
in which they are discussed, and sometime the seemingly 
reluctance of Walter to try to understand what the community 
thinks (like safe for extern(c) or now the interpolate strings).

Yet, taking time to accept features may be beneficial. Imagine 
that the first dip of Adam and Steven would be accepted, or the 
original DIP1036. We would never come to the DIP1036e, which I 
hope will be accepted. (After Attila reverse engineers the 
implementation...)
