I wouldn't really say that it's tentatively planned. I don't recall Walter ever weighing in on it at all, and no one is working on it. Rather, the current situation does not prevent it, and there's definitely some desire for it in the community, so there's a decent chance that it'll be implemented eventually. There are no plans for it though. Regardless, adding them should be backwards compatible, so it's really not a problem to wait until other more pressing issues have been addressed and the language has better stabilized before adding such a feature. - Jonathan M Davis
