That's your prerogative.

This forum is for discussing whether ideas are right for changing
Python, though. Arguments such as “This can already be done, for
yourself, if you need it” are salient and sufficient, and not to be
dismissed.

You're free to solicit those arguments. You'll need to ackonwledge,
though, that they are in addition to the quite sufficient argument of
“already possible for people to get this in Python as is, if they want
it”.
