I reached ~95% confidence it would be rejected; Walter passed a confident
pre-judgment and started doing his own thing.
I did not know how to change that, so it seemed pointless to keep beating
on it.
I don't remember what was outstanding with it now, but I remember thinking
it's fairly trivial; a couple of sentences in the DIP that people didn't
like or thought could be clearer. The implementation is large-ish (has to
deal with a lot of different nodes), but it is nicely self-contained and
works well with just one or 2 incomplete edge cases.
I still think it should be in the language, but I'm out of energy to battle
for stuff. It's up to Walter... if he wants me to work on it, I could, but
he didn't like it and went with his own thing.
