Nice job! I'm glad the team was able to ship a useful subset of the desired functionality. Yes the current implementation shipping next week has limitations, but they're clearly marked, the compiler helpfully explains them and warns you away from some sharp edges.

I'm glad the Rust project is willing to ship useful but limited features quickly, see how people use them, and then iterate and slowly remove the restrictions in the future. I think it'll be more productive than taking another 3 years to solve all the remaining rough edges and problems.

In general, Rust should commit more to stabilizing important features like this. I think because of how easy it is to switch to nightly, there isn't as much pressure to stabilize features as there should be.
