How does adding conditionality make the language easier to understand? It seems you are still asking for a fork in the language. I very much resist to the notion that forking the language is desirable (for whatever reasons). > I think that's a pretty strong reason for making the new, more complex > behaviour optional. Thus making it simpler????? The more complex behavior still remains, to fully understand the language, you have to understand that behavior, *plus* you need to understand that it may sometimes not be present.
