1. I don't agree.
2. This mailing list is also for discussing stylistic improvements to
the language.
3. If you think people are talking about the wrong things, then you
should submit your own RFCs on the right things, instead of
complaining about what other people are doing. I have not seen any
RFCs from you.

I would appreciate a clear discussion of why that is. That is what we
are here for. If the RFC does not lay out clearly what problem it is
tryhing to solve, that is a problem with the RFC and it's something we
should discuss on the list.
However, this comment by itself is not useful.

I didn't either, and I objected to RFC138 on that basis. But Larry
said:
# Well, the fact is, I've been thinking about possible ways to get rid
# of =~ for some time now, so I certainly don't mind brainstorming in
# this direction.
So I consider the metasubject (of whether we should be discussing that
topic at all) to be officially closed.
