I agree with you. This topic was probably a bad idea, but it seems like 
a lot of these complaints/suggestions on here are not being submitted to 
bugzilla, contrary to Walter's suggestion. I wanted to do something 
proactive about that. I also wanted to group non-controversial proposals 
(of course, from what I remember, const-by-default was nearly 
non-controversial and that didn't make it, so...).

I think you're right, though -- I'll just go ahead and add my 
suggestions (after looking through all the enhancement requests there; 
there are quite a few Walter shot down but weren't marked WONTFIX on 
bugzilla).
