2. Technical agenda

2.1. Issue #755: Expression for binding the Context Value

   See issue [61]#755.

   There has been a lot of discussion in this issue and a lot of
   controversy. Please review the issue and be prepared to engage in
   productive discussion.

   Remember that we are designing a language for several different
   constituencies: new users, casual users, experienced users, and expert
   users, at least. We all start as new users and rise to some level of
   experience with each language and to some extent each language feature.

   It's reasonable to argue that a feature has implications with respect
   to new users. But it's equally reasonable to argue that a feature (or
   the lack of a feature) has implications for expert users.
