What about all your feature requests? I think you've made more than

As for Manu's request

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8108

I've gone over with him why he needs it, and there's no other reasonable
way. He needs it for real code in a real application.

This is quite interesting. Manu comes in from basically nowhere and fairly quickly manage to convince Walter to implement at least two feature requests, this one and the SIMD support. I'm not saying that they shouldn't have been implemented. Although I think something like AST macros could possible solve issue 8108 and a whole bunch of other features, a few already present in the language.
