This is the feedback thread for the first round of Community Review of DIP 1042, "ProtoObject".

Oh, I forgot my overall opinion. I guess it's positive. Yes, even now you can make your own object to accomplish mostly the same and yes, afterthought additions like this do make the object tree to look ugly. But the real value of this DIP is that we're going to have a standard "better object" instead of a dozen different ones in DUB packages.
Another opinion would have been to make a new object that inherits the old one, instead of vice-versa. But this option makes it possible to statically reject opCmp
invocations, as opposed to throwing an exception at runtime. And we also get to kill the mandatory monitor without needing to break code.
