I think the point that Derick is trying to make, and that I agree with -
is that if there's no better way to implement it we shouldn't be
implementing it at all.  In other words, coming up with a clean
implementation is a requirement before we can go ahead and introduce this
feature into the language.  I did not mean to imply you did a poor job
implementing it, I don't presently have an idea of how to make it better.
