x::y<z> vs x::y::<z> came up on IRC recently and I agree that every time I need
to write the type param I have to think about it. The situation with
semi-colons on the tail end of blocks comes up sometimes, but I personally
don't have a problem with it. 1000-page error messages. The syntactic
differences between 'tag { a; b; }' and 'type t = {a, b};'. Not being able to
refer to variables in patterns comes up frequently, but we have a story for it
with guards. The proliferation of function types is the first thing mentioned
in every reddit thread.
