Opinions vary, but all the ones I heard at the Ecma TC39 meeting
found it neither simple nor intuitive, and some abhorred it on
aesthetic grounds to boot.

These are either syntax errors without opt-in versioning, or (the
last three) do create incompatible ambiguity (consider array
initialisers).
What's more, as Waldemar pointed out many threads (and too many

last mail I sent before replying; if some vocabulary or infelicitous
word choice is causing any confusion, feel free to mail me privately
and ask pointed questions. Thanks,
