The biggest issue I have with this (and had the first time around) is the 
complaint about the IMPLEMENTATION section. Bluntly, I would really rather 
there have been none included in the language RFCs and, for the ones that 
had them, I rather liked Damian's "this space intentionally left blank" ones.

We have no infrastructure to build on. Whinging about a lack of 
implementation details seems rather inappropriate.

Ideas are nice, but I expect most of the recommended implementations (if we 
got them) would've been tossed out or wildly modified anyway, and it just 
annoys folks to ignore things we've asked for.
