OK, I don't intend to continue this conversation until you engage on
the salient points. You keep dancing around the, saying "Complexity!"
as if that were an argument that others have to respond to.

You need address the following points:

What is *materially* being saved by removing these features? Why does
this "complexity" offend you so much? How will the *specific*
"complexity" you so decry negatively impact actual users of the
language?

These are vital points to answer if you want to change a feature that
has broad consensus among the committee. Simply saying "it's a new
function type! Complexity!" is not a convincing argument.
