Yes, this is what I intended.  Sorry if it wasn't clear.

I would advise against this.  GvR has said from the beginning that he doesn't 
want to see a vote -- he wants to see convincing proposals and a more or less 
unified community support.  He's also said that he'd be willing to consider 
adding two syntaxes for a while if we could really agree on a single 
alternative syntax.

So while the vote for non- at pie syntaxes seems to have been useful for focusing 
our discussions for an alternative proposal, I can't see what use a vote 
between J2 and @pie would do.  Perhaps I've missed something here though, so 
I'm open to an explanation...
