From reviewing past RFCs over the past few weeks, I think the issue was
too big and went in too many different directions to get consensus.
So I thought the best approach would be to break it into different
parts.
If no one wants to implement this feature, it doesn't matter how or at
what level.
So I wanted to get a "yes" from the people who need to say yes, then
discuss all of those things you mentioned:
1. File level vs global
2. Syntax
3. Alternative options
But I think we need a "yes" for the concept first. Otherwise the vote
will fail on the details, as they have in the past.
