For those voting No on this, would you accept the "automatic setter injection interface" alternative?  (That would still work for the original goal of the RFC.)

Yes, it would still be a terrible API, but it wouldn't suffer from the
static/irreplaceable nature of this RFC

Given the current status (4 votes in favor, 7 against, 8 abstentions) and
the feedback I've gotten both on and off list, I'm going to cancel the vote
and rework this significantly.
