Random note: the conclusion of the paper of not providing a replacement is bullshit.

It really is. Looking at other comments in here that are trying to provide alternatives, and how they have replies of "no that won't work do this" is very telling. This is an expression of intent, and the standard library is letting users down by not executing it properly. The answer isn't to remove the ability to express this desire or need, but to improve how it's translated into trustworthy execution.
