It does not fix existing code but would improve not-yet-written code.

But document it as discouraged, IMO. Not just because it is bad to use the construct, but also: while there is no need to break anyone’s code now, the syntax seems fairly likely to complicate or block new features for `use`. Should that ever occur, it should not cause huge controversy at that time to deprecate it. And that requires keeping usage low now.Thread Previous | Thread Next
