Hi Derick,

I am not a fan of the @@ syntax, and respect what you're trying to do with
this RFC, but am disappointed you haven't engaged with those of us who said
that the RFC needs more detail. There is simply not enough information in
that table to "have an objective look", and the only other text in the RFC
makes a vague assertion about the lack of ending symbol which I still don't
understand the significance of.

If I had a vote, I would vote "No" in the primary vote, not because I think
the current syntax is perfect, but because I don't think this RFC makes a
good case for a revote, and strongly suspect it will just be another beauty
contest.

Regards,
