However, with my RM hat on, I need to feel like we're as sure as we can be
about this syntax before it's public.
I'm willing to extend an additional period (up to the tagging of beta3, in
just under six weeks) for a re-vote on the syntax as changing that will be
less violent of a change than merging the entire implementation after
branching.

I hope this solution is both procedurally appropriate and satisfactory to
all.
