They are not a great liability. They are a simple feature. They
take up less than 200 lines of code in my D frontend
implementation, _together_ with template mixins.
I am not saying it is insanely complicated but that it is not
orthogonal to existing features. And having many ways to do the
same thing is rather bad, especially if it is such high-level
abstraction.
