Lets just kill it.
It's an ugly unexpected piece of syntax.
It may be used somewhere, and then what is the migration path for those
people? I don't see that it's harming anything having it there, most of
us didn't even know about it.
It's also not necessary to remove the feature in order to build a
library that does similar things, and the syntax isn't needed elsewhere.
It is bizarre, though, that it works only for classes and builtins, and
not for structs.
I have experienced with Swift the team killing "ugly" features, and it's
painful.
