Any idea what the planned change is going to be?  New construct
like:

localize(:a,:b) {...}

Or maybe an incompatible change like making all block arguments
local no matter what.

It would be nice if all definite changes were put on rcrchive
and marked as accepted.  And somehow put the potential changes
in there too.  Or is there another place where this information
is held?
