What if... Do you have some convincing examples?
A special algorithm is probably not a convincing example,
even when admirable, or worth millions, because special
algorithms typically require special programming efforts.
For features to be of the "general purpose" flavor though,
i.e. for them to be provided by the language, there should
be a general need, not a nice, special one.
