Reference implementation

[Neal Gafter]

Joe-

Do you expect the implementation of these features to be integrated into the
master workspace for the "feature complete" milestone on Thursday?  If not,
how do you expect to reconcile reality with the schedule?  Will the contents
change, the schedule, or some of each?

Regarding the diamond operator: as we've discussed, the current prototype
uses a technique that is incompatible with a possible future extension of
type inference to argument contexts.  I haven't heard anything about how
that might be reconciled.  What are your plans?
