It's implementation is apparently not perfect, and needs to be
clarified, maybe that requires a design tweak. That seems more what
Kenji is talking about to me.
It does. Also, Kenji found a variety of issues that have no clear
solution. I think there's no need for me to argue that features that
"almost work" are not a good way to go, even though they are useful when
they work.
That's not true, Kenji asked how the feature should behave in certain
cases, and I answered every one of them. There is a clear and valid
solution.
Whether it's worth implementing or not is another question. I think if
it's not implemented we can come up with a very clunky library solution,
but I'd rather see the compiler do it.
