No I didn't :) YOu said at one point 

"I'm an old man and I'd love to see a 
decent language in the mainstream"

.. or words to that effect. Me too, both
parts!

The issue here is how to get the result we want.
I'd go for Ocaml 4 with the existing Ocaml team
remaining in full control of the compiler,
but relinquishing *totally* the standard library
to a public process.

The new library starts off EMPTY, and compatility
isn't allowed as an argument except as a tie breaker.

On the other hand accepted principles are valid arguments, 
for example functions operating on a container type shall take
the container as the first argument.

There's no way this process would work without
the Ocaml team being an active part of it!

[And I'm going to vote for Ocamlgraph being included
first thing!]
