Yep, very true. In fact I was looking at doing something like
this for the project I'm working on! :)

I just can't help but think that really, such a feature should be
at the language level. Naturally though, I do understand the want
and need to feature-freeze the language, and if the community
feels the effort outweighs the gain in this regard, so be it.
