Remember, the fact that it becomes part of the standard doesn't mean its 
an entry point re. usage. The benefit here is that you end up with 
syntax sugar awaiting the fully engaged end-user. As I said in an 
earlier post, one an end-user is engaged they make a quantum leap for 
bashful neophyte to edge-case maniac. It happens all the time with 
software. Thus, why not have a pleasant surprise (in the form of syntax 
sugar)  in place for this inevitability?
