Hi Nikita, and Bob,

Thanks for the extremely thorough RFC. I think you've made a great case 
for the decisions you've taken, and it's reassuring to see so many 
edge-cases considered. In particular, the well-considered support for 
references makes it feel like a complete feature. The lack of "callable" 
is the only caveat that might surprise users, but I think it's 
justified, because we can't actually guarantee that something that was 
callable when it went in will be callable when it comes out.

One thing that I would be interested to hear, is whether any of the 
groundwork laid here - particularly for typed references - would be 
useful if we were to introduce typed local variables in future. I don't 
want to derail the thread discussing exactly how this would work, but 
does anyone have a general hunch of whether this "brings us closer", IF 
we decided that was where we wanted to go?

Regards,
