I see merit in both alternatives, so I still update both of them
occasionally. I did withdraw 3150 at one point, but I later figured out a
possible solution to the previously fatal flaw in its namespace handling
semantics and moved it back to Deferred.

I tend not to announce any updates to either of them, since they'll remain
pure speculation in the absence of clear use cases where they would provide
a compelling readability benefit over the status quo.

Cheers,
Nick.
