Should we build a superset of Java?

No one has defined a way.

Sometimes GNU extends languages.  They've done this with both C and
C++.  Sometimes these extensions are useful, sometimes they are lame.

My inclination for Java is not to add extensions.  We have a hard
enough time writing a compatible subset.  However, I wouldn't say that
I'm absolutely against it.  If a "must have" extension comes along, we
could add it.
