Right.  I understand it's possible.  I just don't think its necessary. 
The arguments presented just aren't enough to make me run off and switch 
languages, or complain to Oracle about it.  I don't think any of these 
suggestions where even offered to Project Coin a while back.

I understand too that some of you all might just be making conversation 
about Java.  Fair enough.  But understand I'm just making conversation 
back, and for the most part my conversation has been to shrug and say 
it's not really convincing.
