Rumor has it that MS has several compiler extensions, just for supporting
their kernel. Some of what you say above could be built on top of the
compiler, declaratively. Language support works well in cases where writing
the same code by hand is tedious and error prone or down right ugly - like
several hundred if (foo = null) return blah checks.
