Good work Andres. The problem is, as I noted in earlier discussions, the semantics of this feature is pretty complex. It is difficult to understand what is going on and how to properly use it. Also in addition to that it adds more responsibility to the compiler and forces a more opinionated style of extension.
On the other hand, as we discussed earlier, we want to compiler to do the less and give more options at the library level. The new feature you are proposing, the GWT.create feature itself and many others can be reasonably handled by a single extension point that provides basic method re-writing.
