Excellent point. I suppose some folks might be confused about what is up for discussion now and what is for future versions and investing energy hoping to get features into the next version. ---- If real macros are not ready for ECMAScript prime time then I'm glad meta-programming is not on the table for the next major edition. Better to wait and do it right. Adding built-in sugar (that could otherwise be macros) for the most painful points is a better intermediate fix, I think.
