I didn't follow this too closely last year, but I don't see a lot
wrong with the "implicit with" approach (or at least I'm not sure
how wrong it would be, I would lean toward adding it to a preview
switch and see if it broke anything). The DIP proponents would
argued against that approach seem to just be saying that the DIP
is more powerful than that. Sure, that may be true, but this is
also a situation where they probably shouldn't let perfect be the
enemy of good. I'd rather "implicit with" than using strings and
mixins to hack together the same effect for function argument
lists.
