There is the core of the problem.
Because you want to understand it all, therefore it must be
simplified.
This is not something that nature imposes on itself. It's
entirely a product of the human mind.
Why constrain ourselves in this way?
Let it go, and let it grow ;-)
As a a compiler developer, I can guarantee that at some point you
_need_ to understand all of the language.
If you don't you will mis-compile code.
Also the more complex the language gets the more special-case
handling needs to be added to the compiler making it slower and
more brittle.
Unconstrained complexity growth is a pretty scary thing.
