From your description, the rule still sounds quite complex. It depends
whether the objective is a rule that is close enough to the current rule
that we can switch with very little code breaking, or a rule that is
simple to explain to newcomers to the language (but which will require
much more code tweaking when updating packages to compile with the new
standard).
