I find it interesting that this "proposal" spends over a dozen
paragraphs on the minor question of "how would this be implemented",
while the most important question of "is this actually useful" is hand
waved away with "There are many situations where it is useful". Like,
why would a reflection system care if a type-erased object is
polymorphic? Come to think of it, why would something using reflection
use a *type-erased pointer* at all?

I find this interesting... but not surprising.
