Maybe. But in my opinion we should not rush. Something is wrong here at a more fundamental level.

I agree that we should wait a little bit for the dust to settle down. Users should avoid it, and implementors shouldn't go through hoops non commensurable with the benefits of "final". Maybe the "right" primitive is slightly different.

This patch seems pretty simple and safe. Are you (Gaby and Paolo) arguing that even so, it shouldn't go in?
