That dismissal (which made sense in my head when I wrote it) fails to 
survive on re-reading it. Sorry.

Of course it could be optional in the sense of being explicitly opt-in, 
e.g. with `let` assignments, rather than mandatory. But it won't be 
optional in the important sense that I went on to describe, namely that 
even if I personally don't use this feature, I'll still have to deal 
with it.
