I am just as unsure of how to read that. Does "at this point" mean
that it's off the table altogether for harmony or only that it's been
postponed until later in the process?
Why do you want a for-all-time declaration from me?
We can only focus on what's next. Our covenants the proscribe certain
features are few: no ES4-style namespaces (Common Lisp packages), nor
packages built on them.
If we standardize extensible value types and a decimal extension
becomes so popular it should be part of the normative core language
(as JSON is now, different kind of extension but same rationale for
making it part of the normative core), then why would we not include
decimal?
