Okay, fair enough. Should this still not have had approval
from either Walter or Atila before being merged in? Or is that
not the case for changes behind -preview?
Approval is not required for -preview. It's the testing phase
of a new feature or change. As I tried to mention earlier real
data and experimentation is super helpful for a DIP / formal
approval (in this case one important question answered was how
much code in the D ecosystem would need to be changed).
There's a bit of implicit approval by no objection as something
that's worthwhile to be explored/tested, but it's only a good
chance that it will be activated by default, not a guarantee.
Okay, fair enough. Looks like I was mistaken and thought -preview
implied that the feature will be moved out from under the switch
after a certain number of releases (as the word "preview" means
an early look at something that will be released in the future).
