We weren't speaking of rejected proposals, but of previously
reviewed drafts. Rejected proposals already include a summary
of why they were rejected. You can a list of all DIPs submitted
under the current process, including links and their current
status, at:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
I... think you misunderstood me? I shouldn't have used the word
'proposals', I should have said 'suggestions'.
What I meant was "I think it would be better for the current
version of DIP 1009 to include a 'Rejected alternative syntaxes'
that would include a summary of the previously discussed
suggestions for improving contract readability."
MysticZach argues that such a section would be pointless since
the language authors read the previous version of DIP 1009, but I
still think adding it would be a good idea (for posterity and to
streamline discussions in this thread).
