This proposal (allowing typed wildcards) is such a large step away from
existing validation techniques that I think it's too large a step
for a dot release.  I'm not sure I understand the use cases properly,
and some of the motivating examples I see in discussions strike me as
just poor design that should not be encouraged.  And as one of the
commentators points out, many of the motivating examples could actually
be solved with substitution groups.

On the other hand, this might be precisely what is needed to solve
what might be called the problem of architectural forms. 

So I propose to close this issue with a resolution of LATER.
