Sounds like a fine set of constraints to add to the RFC.

As far as (2) is concerned, certainly nobody who likes perl thinks
that making everything an object will make _everything_ easier. But
I think we proponents of this RFC believe it may well make _some_
things easier, with the implementation of perl6 being among them.
