Such discussions take place in the relevant discussion lists. I suggest you start
at loom-dev for the async-await.

Extension methods are more complex, and require some care with the type system.
Convenient though they may be, there's some question whether they're a good
idea at all.

We (well, some of us) know that we'll eventually need type classes, sum types, and
so on. I want higher-kinded functions too, but that's probably just me.
