<sarcasm>
Yeah! I've also never really liked some of the other operators... let's

NAMESPACE_SEPARATOR="::"
STRING_CONCATENATOR="+"
OBJECT_ACCESSOR="."
</sarcasm>

that permanently moderating the list is necessarily the way to go. Maybe
until people calm down and accept what the devs and RMs have decided?
