You're preaching to the choir on that one.  Two of the implementers (including 
our code owner, and MSVC reps) stated a distinct dislike for this, and that 
they were considering implementer veto on it.

"Unable to support" and "dont want to support" are different, but EWG is 
nothing if not consistently inconsistent.

Just deliberately not support a part of C++2b.  Implementers have veto'ed 
features in the past exactly that way.
