The DIP brings compile-time improvements, but this is a feature <br>
relatively reserved for the standard library so perhaps the <br>
blocker is that is also has an easy syntax;<br>
Being an operator it brings many new questions such as <br>
precedence, syntax compatibility, whereas if it was a compiler <br>
intrinsic like __mapTuple (very bad name) the quantity of debate <br>
would be less perhaps?<br>
Possibly it could remain "niche" and with loud syntax and we <br>
would still gain the compile-time improvements.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure what you mean it's reserved for the standard library? That is definitely not the case.</div><div>This is intended to be used by users who want to write good code.</div></div></div>
