Good point. Going into committee with field experience in hand (e.g.
"we made the enter and exit behaviors  callables so they could be
customized by the user") is very helpful for shaping additions and
modifications to the standard library - a point I have been trying to
emphasize for years. There's a conversation to be had about the
committee completely ignoring existing practice but that's a topic for
another thread.

Thanks
