Just replied to Marc about this. I should have phrased my response as

dishonest anymore, it's doubly inappropriate seeing as we also work
together. You wouldn't think there's an actual possibility I go around
lying to people about such stuff. Thanks.

You have my apologies.
Still, qualifying something of _reasonable_ or not do not constitute a
solid argument IMO. That is where my frustration come from here. You are
arguing as if nothing was proposed when various persons made proposals.
That do not foster progress. If actual criticism of the proposals were
made, then we could argue about these criticisms, or come up with
improvement of the proposals, but if you argue as if these proposal do
not exists, we are condemned to talk past each other and no progress can
be made.
I also owe you apologies for not acknowledging that work. I find the
proposal too complicated for what it provides and that's the short and
long of it. It's easy to make a large and complex language addition to
support any sensible abstraction. That doesn't make it automatically good.
