For me it's rather the abundance of unwieldy LFUNs that make the proposal look somewhat scary, at least right now when the fog is starting to clear up a bit.

It seems a major problem here is the negative connotations to the word "pointer" in this crowd. Please replace it with "ahofu" and reread the suggestion for what it actually says. The resemblance with C pointers stops at the syntax, like pretty much everything else in Pike.
