The DIP brings compile-time improvements, but this is a feature
relatively reserved for the standard library so perhaps the
blocker is that is also has an easy syntax;
Being an operator it brings many new questions such as
precedence, syntax compatibility, whereas if it was a compiler
intrinsic like __mapTuple (very bad name) the quantity of debate
would be less perhaps?
Possibly it could remain "niche" and with loud syntax and we
would still gain the compile-time improvements.
I'm not sure what you mean it's reserved for the standard library? That is definitely not the case.
This is intended to be used by users who want to write good code.
