Why does it have to be a *Standard* feature? I'm not doubting the usefulness,
I'm just asking whether it needs to be in the Standard.

See also Sebastian's reply, showing there are different interception techniques
for different conditions, none of which the Standard is aware of. There's no
way to have a *single* native language feature that will work for all of those
conditions. So is it worth standardising one way of interception that doesn't
always work?
