I like the simplicity of it. It's a lot easier to understand than
the previous version. The breaking change is easy to identify and
fix and could actually reveal bugs.

I still have to read through DIP 69 to see how this works with
that but I think this DIP would be a good addition on its own.
Although I believe DIP69 is technically sound, it was abundantly clear from the
thread about it that almost nobody understood it. It was too complicated and
unintuitive. Andrei convinced me we had to go back to the drawing board.
DIP25 still needs to address things like overloading and inheritance, but I
think we can just swipe that from DIP69.
