I want to clarify something: "post 1.0" does not mean "low priority" or "will
never come to Rust". Post-1.0 means just that: post 1.0. Without taking a
position on this feature in particular, there are many high priority features
slated for post 1.0. Think of 1.0 as a sort of minimum viable product in which
plenty of useful software can be written productively and enjoyably, and is
backwards-compatible so that we don't break people's code anymore.
