Right, "callers Just Work" is carrying a lot of water here. I want to know
specifically how people think it should behave. For example: What should
happen in the case of a semantic conflict that can't be resolved during
conversion?
(If you can't tell, I'm a bit annoyed about folks having plenty of energy to
express their distaste with one solution, only to float a hand-wavy alternative
lacking specifics that also has flaws; sorry, abs@, I'm not trying to pick on
you here...).
