Guy makes the argument that users need to be able to extend the
vocabulary of a language and have those new words look like
built-in ones. We have that today, of course, with the ability
of defining new types. There is no special syntax that says
"this is a user-defined type, not a keyword."
That's not strictly true: type inference works better for
built-in types than for user-defined types, with "auto x = 1;" x
is an int, how do I have the same type of syntax for MyInt?
AFAIK I can't, that's why I have mixed feelings towards type
inference..
