Re: Concerns over handling of bug #49105

Chris & All, If I did put together a detailed proposal, is there anywhere other than rfc where I might be able to submit it? Could I perhaps send it out to the internals list? I do genuinely believe in this feature as it prevents some designs from being accomplished without a workaround (an array on the parent class keyed by subclass). I've seen enough features discarded in the past and revisited once sufficient demand manifested. Although I agree with you that you have to catch people at the right phase of the moon to get past a wall of resistance. The only valid reasoning I've seen against this idea is that it would break existing code. Which I think I addressed (without addressing the complexity) by revising my idea into a new modifier during declaration. I've heard less opposition to this alternative idea as opposed to my original one, which is a good start, no? Thanks for the info, and hopefully you and others can answer my remaining questions! - Alex
