Indeed, the discussion led to several ideas and shortcoming-discoveries, resulting in gradually improved proposals.
Well done everyone involved.

This came out of nowhere but I am excited to see it! And I am looking forward to discussing this whole process when we meet-up next. I can see many lessons we can learn from this.

Is this going to go behind a feature flag or be part of the upcoming "editions"?

Thanks for approving this! I think it will be a great addition to the language.
I will start working on the spec this week, and would volunteer also to implement any specific updates (assuming I have the skills) that need to be done for merging.
I know at least one that we could do that I mentioned a while back...

Since it is does not affect any other features, there is no reason to put it behind a feature flag.

Graciously admitting when you are wrong is as much a part of real leadership as being right. Well done, Walter.
