It might be worth trying as long as there remains a "way back". I could have tried it earlier, of course, but as is probably true for others, big steps (and it is a big one) are not easily taken unless somebody pushes you... > How much do label users care for having labels in the standard library?

Being able to write the code of a functional at the end of some function application is surely an advantage when using commuting labels.
