Partly because I've got no responses for this proposal on p5p.
Really? Your first post about this subject dates from Feb 13. 6 direct and indirect replies were posted on Feb 14 and 15, trying to figure out how to fit it in with other method/class plans for 5.12. Noone shot it down. For p5p, that counts as a huge success, specially considering it isn't clear how your suggested change changes existing code. You posted a link to a patch four days ago, and now you're getting impatient people didn't instantly embrace and committed your patch? Get real. There are only a few people that will understand the effects of your patch, and those people 1) have a life as well, 2) may actually take some time to form an opinion.

Considering that (mainly due to the tuits required to actually do significant things is concentrated upon a handfule of people) perl5 progresses slowly -- from 5.8 to 5.10 took 5 years; from 5.10.0 to 5.10.1 is taking 14 months and counting -- you shouldn't expect 5.12 to happen any time soon. Just because your post didn't get a reaction in 4 days doesn't mean anything.

And remember, 5.12 will happen. Just not this week.
