If we're going to go through the DIP process, you're going to 
have to try. There's this big language enhancement in the 
pipeline and I still have only a tenuous understanding of what 
it's meant to do and an even more tenuous understanding of how 
it's meant to be an improvement. Your mental model needs to be 
stated in concise, unambiguous terms before the rest of us can 
catch up and be able to consent to having the language we all use 
modified in such a way.

The DIP process is annoying and obtuse as hell, but it does exist 
for a reason. Your proposals should be held to the same standards 
as the rest of us, because changes to the language affect all of 
us.
