Ah, I missed that. As I've argued many times, included a dialect name
in the syntax is big mistake. I thought people understood that by now,
but I guess not. I think it's a mistake for FLD to support dialect
designers macking this mistake, but I guess it's my fault for not
noticing this before Last Call. Oh well.
As for the rest of this thread... I don't care about "the" PS. It's
just there as a shorthand for specifying the semantics. I'll consider
it a huge failure of the community if people ever actually use it
(instead of better PS's that come along).
