Allow shortened function implementations for

-preview=shortenedMethods is added. This allows functions to
be written in a similar form to lambda functions:
// these 2 are equivalent
int foo() { return 1; }
int foo() => 1;
The syntax allows the form => expr to replace the function
body { return expr; }
Amazing! I had no idea this got in. I love the syntax.
It's pretty neat, but a DIP has to be drafted and approved for
it to be enabled by default, right? (Unless I missed it.)
Correct. To be completely honest it shouldn't have ever been
merged since there was no approval from WalTila and they steer
the language.
Given your status as a member of the Foundation, is there a
plan/track of sorts to convert such a DIP-less -preview feature
to a full-fledged one? I know it's a lot of work to write an
improvement proposal, and deliberation with the community is a
seemingly tiring (but necessary) ordeal, but I'm concerned that
this feature will be in purgatory if its author becomes busy or
forgets about it. (Barring another individual assuming
proprietorship.)
