They *are* fumbling the ball. No - there are just many more pressing things to add to/fix in the language. Go have a look at the list of AI and the minutes from the ARG meetings - there is a _lot_ to get through. None of the ARG are going to write this AI for you - if you want to suggest it, please do. But don't start accusing the ARG of "fumbling" anything just because they don't think that *your* pet hobby-horse should make it into the next revision. Sumbit an AI - prove me wrong! :-) p.s. I'm not opposed to what you suggest but I (personally) just don't get very excited by the idea. Now "interfaces" on the other hand!..
