Oh, I agree, but we, as a group, have obviously failed to handle the implementation of the built-in AAs properly, and I think that the indications are definitely that it's harder to get the built-in AAs right that it would be to create a library solution. At this point, AAs are part of the language and need to be fixed, but I see no reason to add anything else like them to the language. It's just not worth the trouble. - Jonathan M Davis
