Hi Doug,

Good to know. Since this is mostly related to 3.5, we still have
half-a-year to make sure it won't break big things.

This whole discussion, in my view, was more to put the thought into our
heads, so that we can plan ahead for deprecating old compilers and add
language features that would make the code more readable and extensible.
The time frame can stretch to accommodate people's schedules, but at least
I think most of us agree it's a good move forward.

cheers,
