Once, for an extended portion of my career, I worked in a 'developer support' 
type role for a large C++ API. I had daily contact with developers who were 
consuming that API.
Because of that experience, I am fully convinced that library authors will 
never imagine all the ways developers will use a library's API.
Of course there's more to it, but I really think the reasons why this is the 
wrong direction have been well expressed by others.

No, I don't believe so. I also think it would eventually force a second change; 
some sort of override to the default, at which point we've extended the 
language further to get closer to where we started.

I don't believe it does.

I have read the proposal, followed this discussion here but none of the 
previous discussion
