BetterC added features?

Will `-betterC` continue to evolve to support more language
features in the future, or is it intended to stay minimal and
close to C in terms of functionality?
D is a terrific language and I absolutely love it. When I first
discovered `-betterC`, I was pleasantly surprised that it still
supported powerful features like slices, scope-based resource
management `(scope(exit))`, and more—despite omitting the full D
runtime.
This made me curious: could we see more high-level features
gradually supported in -`betterC`, or is the goal to keep it
tightly constrained for low-level systems programming and
interoperability with C? In other words, is `-betterC` a minimal
subset by design, or is there room for it to evolve and
incorporate more D features over time, as long as they don't
require the full runtime
