I'm not surprised to read this, though. Putting mutable proto into the language is far more than just regulating existing practice. It is blessing it. That is a psychological factor that should not be underestimated. I fully expect to see significantly more code in the future that considers it normal to use this feature, and that no amount of evangelization can counter the legislation precedent. That is, if having it at all, I'd still think it much wiser to ban it to some Appendix. /Andreas
