Although I'm not on the ARG, I can confidently say that the answer to this question is "absolutely not".  What you're asking for is a major change that would need a lot of consideration to get the semantics right and make sure it wouldn't have any impact on any other part of the language.  And at this point, I don't think even minor changes are being considered unless they're actual errors or perhaps editorial issues.
