Hi Andrey,

Thanks for taking the time to push forward this RFC.

I found the earlier discussion at https://externals.io/message/104744,
which I hadn't seen. Like others, I would have chosen to keep {} for string
offsets to make it clearer, though I have not used {} in my code for a
decade. Was any consideration given to a split vote, voting on the array
and string deprecations separately?

For others interested, the history of this deprecation going back to 2005
is found at https://externals.io/message/38153

Peter
