My understanding is that the goal of "coin" was small changes that
don't affect the type system.  That however doesn't preclude OTHER
projects which DO touch the type system (I'm sure modularity is
touching the type system for access levels at least).

Still - will be interesting to hear there reasoning behind the
decision changes to include it.
