No, I did not say that.

I am saying *I* do not see sufficient value in it, based on my uses, to make it
a Standard feature. I think that extensions are just fine. And based on my
experience, I think this feature would come up short in real-world because of
differences in how executables and libraries are compiled and linked.

While I don't see sufficient value in the feature, I am not *opposed* to it. If
you can write a good proposal that does improve the language, it deserves a
chance to be adopted. Therefore, I am offering advice on how to make it better.
Because the thing I don't want is that a defective proposal be adopted, which
would be a detriment to the language and developers.

Mind you: I did not say your proposal is defective. I said it has rough edges
that you need to polish first, and there are a lot of constraints and
limitations that you need to describe.
