And we have, in our wisdom, chosen to retain the shot-in-the-foot restriction that literals cannot be in the subject position. It is perfectly clear what they would mean if they were, and it is also fairly clear that allowing them there would have solved a host of problems that we have conspicuously failed to solve. But those are other discussions that belong in a different time and place than two weeks before final call.
