Re: List container strawman

Aside from the restrictions, I've found it to be just plain buggy. By
combining Controlled with other features, either Controlled breaks, or the
other features break. Granted, the experience I have, has only been with a
handful of versions of a single compiler, but because it seems to kill
things in new and interesting ways in a variety of settings, I begin to
wonder if the feature is just simply not reliable in its current design.

We need something very much like Controlled, but perhaps it is possible to
design something that is a little less restrictive and/or a little easier to
make reliable?
