The DIP brings compile-time improvements, but this is a feature 
relatively reserved for the standard library so perhaps the 
blocker is that is also has an easy syntax;
Being an operator it brings many new questions such as 
precedence, syntax compatibility, whereas if it was a compiler 
intrinsic like __mapTuple (very bad name) the quantity of debate 
would be less perhaps?
Possibly it could remain "niche" and with loud syntax and we 
would still gain the compile-time improvements.
