Let me expound a bit on John's pure-functional snooty-poo reply.

Semantics - what programs mean - is everything. Exactly how they're compiled, interpreted, JITted, transformed, optimized, and otherwise put through the meat grinder to make something useful, is secondary. If a certain feature would void a property that *humans* find extremely helpful when reasoning about programs, there had better be really good motivation for it.

Carry on.
