I agree with Matthias here. Since 2023-01 does not introduce the language Nick points to I find it unreasonable to demand that this proposal should also fix any issues in that language (if they are indeed in need of fixing). This proposal aims to solve a different problem, after all, so fixing other issues is not in scope. I see no surprises in the Impact Analysis, so I reiterate my support for moving 2023-01 forward.
