First reaction: Each proposal, by its very syntax, suggested a range of
non-decorator use cases and semantics. Unfortunately, we have dozens of
syntax proposals with "ranges of implication" which do not overlap, and
therefore cannot be evaluated fairly (very little "apples to apples"
comparison). Most of the remaining discussions addressed Beauty, Fear,
Magic, or Intuition, which take more effort and space to analyze
properly than your typical Usenet post allows.
