It's fine if you want to have a discussion about this feature, 
but if you're serious about changing the language, you will not 
only have to show that it is relevant (and important), but also 
that you can't do it with existing language features. I'm not 
being dismissive, just trying to save you some time by avoiding 
the same pointless discussion I've seen over and over again.
