Araq, `{.experimental.}`, that's an exceptionally (haha) pragmatic and likable
plan! Even the exceptions are fine with an exception-free core because that
makes a no-exceptions flag quite feasible in the future, when a better option
emerges.
What about the crufty / obsolete / inconsistent stuff in the std lib, of which
there is plenty, by most accounts in this thread?
Incidentally, pruning the std lib and putting it in nimbles instead also makes
for a better upgrade path in a beautiful, experimental-free world, because it's
easy to code up alternatives for the brave new world.
On practical ways forward, I also like the suggestion for levels-of-packaging
that would let people eat the batteries-included cookie and have it.
