I second that! If we all make the switch, perhaps Walter will too? :D
Walter isn't necessarily the one we have to convince in this case. He'll be very concerned about avoiding breaking existing code, so we'd need a solid transition plan, but he very much wants to get rid of autodecoding, so he'll welcome it if we can do it cleanly. The bigger problem is convincing Andrei, since he seems to think that even discussing the issue is a waste of time and takes away from more important topics. And I don't dispute that there are other important topics, and coming back to this one over and over again is arguably a problem, but if we can just figure out how to make the transition and get it over with, then it wouldn't need to keep getting discussed like this.
