If you want other people to do work for you, you need to
convince them to do it. This is an open source project, so the
appropriate way of doing this is with good reasoning and
examples, not by insulting people.
The answer to your "if" is: NO, this is not the topic.
The argument is: does the induction of a true "private" attribute
add value to the language or not? It is possible to discuss, in
these forums, or everything must be truncated with "if you want
to do it, and best wishes to convince then W & A"
This is true even if the feature seems obviously good and
necessary to one or two people, if those people don't have
abnormally large influence over the project.
Nothing is "necessary" to a language outside "turing
completeness".
Can we argue about the problems arising from the potential
introduction of this feature?
