To me, the fact that this raises discussion on if this syntax should
have other applications perhaps already justifies a "no" to your actual
question: should this be allowed in a bugfix release.
I would think not just a small library tool but an actual language
change warrants a bit more consideration and should not be introduced in
a what is supposed to be a bugfix release. This is more than just a
bugfix, it's a significant feature. Adding those without giving them
proper consideration seems to be an excellent way to grow ugly warts on
the language that will be very hard to plaster over later on.
I've already dropped the "Pick-to: 6.2". There was no overwhelming
interest in having this feature as soon as possible. So, we've lived
with the problem in 6.0 and 6.1. We can live with it in 6.2. The
discussion on whether we should claim the "@" symbol for this feature is
still important, no matter when we introduce it.
cheers,
Ulf
