Okay, fair enough. Should this still not have had approval from
either Walter or Atila before being merged in? Or is that not
the case for changes behind -preview?
Approval is not required for -preview. It's the testing phase of
a new feature or change. As I tried to mention earlier real data
and experimentation is super helpful for a DIP / formal approval
(in this case one important question answered was how much code
in the D ecosystem would need to be changed).
There's a bit of implicit approval by no objection as something
that's worthwhile to be explored/tested, but it's only a good
chance that it will be activated by default, not a guarantee.
