It is not practical to just delete or deprecate autodecode
Yes, it is.
We need to stop holding on to the mistakes of the past. 9 of 10
dentists agree that autodecoding is a mistake. Not just WAS a
mistake, IS a mistake. It has ongoing cost. If we don't fix our
attitude about these problems, we are going to turn into that
very demon we despise, yea, even the next C++!
Please, just remove auto-decoding, any way you want. I only ever
used it once or twice voluntarily. It's a special case that must
go.
Maybe with a flag like for -vtls.
