Well, the problem is that every implementor does choose a

That's what I'm complaining about.
And that's exactly what you (or anybody else) can't do anything about
(thank God for that).
It's much worse in JavaScript - essential features working
differently in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and
Safari, and sometimes they even differ between versions; Web
programmers still manage.
Strange example to choose. Have you any idea how much time
is wasted because of the implementation differences in
JavaScript?
Actually, I have a pretty good idea - I've used to be a Web
programmer. Surprisingly, not much.
It's arrogant
and disrespectful on the part of the implementors to say
that they know better than the committee what features
should be part of the language.
