That's a shame, I happen to like the use of sigils to denote pointer types, to my eyes it makes code a lot easier to read. Out of curiosity why are they making the change? And will they add the `let x = box Thing` syntax or as an optio

I do like code which has comments which describe the level of confidence the author has in some sections (I feel a happier refactoring code which is marked as being suboptimal). But in my experience those comments are usually found above ca
