Very diplomatically worded. A 30% improvement in a rarely used
feature hardly justifies the extra burden on maintainers and
even less the burden on readers of the manual. Would that we
had such good data on the true cost of programming clutter as
Daniel has given us about one potential benefit of clutter.

+1 for deprecation.

Thank you.
