Having led the creation of a language/compiler professionally, the number of features that are "nice to have" are nearly infinite. And occasionally a lower priority item that was easier to implement at the time, become far larger in scope because of how another higher priority feature was implemented. Some of these can get scrapped or pushed back till the cycles allow it.

Often though, we learn in the implementation, and some of the lower priorities are no longer needed. And Reflections provided a lot of the functionality that you could make seamless from a parent class and attributes.
