That's more-or-less my point. The ability to write arbitrary code with given will create a lot of arguments about style. One person will use it in one place but not another, then someone will say, hey, let's make it more consistent, but then that's going too far… and it becomes an attractive nuisance for pointless rewrites.

But again, is this really any different from what we already have? There are countless ways in which any given piece of code could be rewritten according to someone's personal tastes, yet somehow we manage to avoid the massive code churn that this would seem to imply. -- Greg
