Re: [std-proposals] Revising #pragma once

I don't want to re-dig this discussion.
People who don't use "#pragma once", have directly cited this exact reason as the sole reason that makes any sense, by which they were opposed to adopting a feature that they are not forced to use, but others could. And the problem was because others could.
There's no arguing this!
We can agree to disagree.

So, at this point this "summary of the discussion" becomes a distorted opinion piece..

..and this puts icing on that cake.

It has everything to do with technical details. There's no bullying of any kind. At least not in that direction. The same cannot necessarily be said about the other direction and its message "you must accept this proposal even though you have practical uses broken by it, just fix those uses, it's easy".
