Are you sure? I've not seen a prototype or reference implementation of |
18 |
either idea, nor a demonstration of how such features would work in |
19 |
practice. We know from past experience that there is a big gap between |
20 |
"I have an idea" to "this is a viable solution", and I've not seen |
21 |
anyone do the work to move either bug from the former to the latter. |

It's all very well claiming "this will fix everything!", but for |
24 |
non-trivial features such as these, you really need to get at least a |
25 |
rough implementation to try it out. |

Accusations of trolling have nothing to do with getting a feature |
36 |
implemented. Writing a prototype implementation does. |
