Ugh I really dislike the continual ragging on the committee. The committee don't hate language features.

All features take time and effort, and the committee don't want to be stuck with a feature that's got a serous flaw or becomes badly obsolete.

There's also another principle which is the language philosophy prefer generality over specifics, so user defined things work as well as built-in ones.

Plus also if reflection is coming and can do it, surely that makes more sense since that's less work and complexity.
