I'm sick of proposals that sounds like "hey, matz, I'm a Ruby newbie;
thank you for the language; by the way, Ruby's design here is not in
Ruby-way; it should be fixed somehow; I don't know how, because I'm a
newbie; but *you* should fix".  Sigh, don't preach me Ruby way.

Sorry if I offend you, George.  I don't mean yours was one of them.
But I want concrete proposal, its rationale, and effect estimate of
the change.  They are what I want to see in the Ruby2 RCR.
