I'd like to correct this perception, because amber-dev is definitely not 
intended to be any sort of free-for-all.

The charter of amber-dev is discussion pertaining to the 
_implementation_ of Amber features.  This includes implementation 
discussions, bug reports, "is this how it is supposed to work" 
questions, experience reports ("I tried it and ___").  It is definitely 
and explicitly *not* a place for language design discussion, nor a place 
for "I have an idea for amber".

That said, in the interest of inclusion and helpfulness, we are often 
tolerant of certain _limited_ discussions outside the charter.  We try 
to allow discussions to continue until they have clearly wandered out of 
bounds, but we also hope that people exercise restraint so that we can 
continue to do so.
