I don't like the idea of one, although I see why one might be necessary.
More importantly, I don't like any implementation that's been suggested
so far. It's quite possible that there doesn't exist an implementation
which I would like. However, I'm going to veto this proposal, in the
hope that someone will come up with something more elegant and
equitable.
