I don't think adding more to the language is the sane thing

Why not? Could you explain this?
This issue is discussed since more than a year and it is a
very annoying issue.
And even if Walter and Andrei are of this opinion, it would
still only polite when they explain in detail why they think
this.
Listen, this issue is very real, but it is mostly about
performance. I'll tell you something : the best performance
improvement is the one that bring your program from non working
state to working one. And right now, many existing feature are
broken.
The let's add whatever feature we have in mind is the very
cause of the state of the language right now.
Sadly, I have to agree on this. As nice as many new feature ideas
are, they are far from priorities when there are multiple core
mechanics that are broken.
