These are a bunch of things to reply to. Thank you for bringing them up, I agree that such issues require a close look. Programming is one of those activities...

>>Inlining is (ideally) a speed optimization, and nothing more than a speed optimization. However, the way the speed optimization is implemented also breaks the control-structure-as-method paradigm. Exactly this is the...

### Exceptions We always discuss if a certain polymorphic extension to sclang is worth adding to common. But otherwise, systems have their own life. We will never know what someone...

I just would like to add that I am really thankful that we can even discuss this here. Over many years we didn't have such good C++ programmers here as...
