that's our job, isn't it? :)

Do you see a problem in the rules as explained by Dan? From what I understood so 
far those look fine to me (given his explanation :) ). If we can draw a clean 
and precise line between safe and unsafe code, why should we care about 
probabilities of people using the capabilities to the last dot?

Do you consider the proposed rules too complex to implement cleanly, or too 
complex to explain to users?

Defining early construction contexts relative to specific enclosing classes 
makes a lot of sense, if you ask me. Still, as long as we haven't implemented 
this change I might be missing some murky detail.

thanks,
Stephan
