So: It seems to me that although this it may sound trivial to "add two flags", this is a fundamental conceptual change, and I hope it will not go forward without extensive discussion. To aid users like me who might want to think about this, can you please suggest for exploration a language that has adopted this approach. (Ideally, where the decision is considered a good one.)
