What should the default be? This makes the API a lot more complicated.
There is a solution 4, which is the old proto! stuff, which created
bounded protocols, but bitrotted. I think this is probably what you're
really looking for.
I do think we should re-explore channel protocols in the future since
they provide the advantages of never blocking nor allocating on sends -
the buffers are always exactly the right size. If this strategy panned
out then it would solve the common complaints about unbounded channels
(while possibly adding new ones about complexity).
