  • Experimental features that make sense to keep around
    • View types
    • Dot operators
    • not nil annotation
    • User-defined numeric literals
    • Ast-based overloading. This is related to term rewriting macros, but easier to specify correctly, so might work properly
    • noalias
    • Do notation
    • Term rewriting macros - current implementation is broken with dysfunctional {.noRewrite.} pragma annotation, but other parts need to be specified.
    • Concepts - old concept implementation was broken due to the bad sem implementation, but current plan is to make old concepts work again, so as much as possible (read - anything that happened to work now) need to be specified.
  • Questionable if these experimental feature should even be in the language.
    • Named argument overloading
    • Package level objects
    • Case statement macros - absolutely useless feature
  • Already in the language but should be checked for sanity
    • {.push.} and {.pop.} system
    • --multimethods:on - does anyone even use these?
