Jeremy, I've already discussed some of the things that I don't like, and now new
ones come up.

While I consider myself one of the minimalists here, and as something of an
amateur I certainly can't compete with others' professional education and
experience, I'm not against every single feature that has been considered and
added. Only a few of them.

What's frustrating to me is that just when it seems like we've come to an
agreement on one contentious issue we get, "oh, one more thing..."

Maybe I'm just grousing/ranting. *shrug*

I've obviously had as much luck arguing what I like/don't like with regards to
additions as I did when trying to argue to have Euphoria added to the Shootout.

So I should just STFU and code, but when I see yet another proposal it just sets
my teeth on edge. I realize that sometimes there's a line between being an
obstructionist for the cause of creating obstructions, and being an
obstructionist when you see things taking a tack that is adding stuff to the
language "just because".
