Adding features to a language always seems easy but that is the best
reason for not doing so. There is the temptation to make the language
the union of all the desired features. It's all been talked around before,
and Guido has said what his feelings are. In the end, I think you've
either got to respect that decision, or fork the language.

C++ has to be the classic case of a language that evolved rather than
was designed: PDP-11 assembler with OO bits tacked on. If we can
learn something from its evolution, it should be not to do the same
again.
