Thank you for the explanation, I believe I understand it now. I had originally interpreted that in a manner to assume that all new features would be tagged with an edition but would be usable on older editions if the compiler supported the feature, but with your explanation I realized that my interpretation of "edition-independent" was off the mark.
- steveklabnik 8y agoGreat! Glad to get it sorted. That's a totally reasonable interpretation; we had to debate if that's the way we wanted to do it, or not. In the end, it seemed to mostly add complexity to remove features from people, and that seems like a bad tradeoff.
