We're specifically trying _not_ to add language features right now but rather to stabilize the language and its implementation. We've added a few things since the release of TDPL - mostly to resolve major issues that came up - but with the release of TDPL, the language was supposed to have been effectively frozen. We may add more backwards-compatible features once everything in TDPL has been fully implemented and is reasonably stable, but at this point, new language features need a _really_ good justification in order to be added. - Jonathan M Davis
