I’ve personally rarely encountered issues with yielding. Four-way stops are another issue, and any driver in the U.S. has probably encountered them, but they’re solveable issues with basic driver courtesy. They assume basic understanding an

I think by that he means it wouldn't be possible to get func_defer behavior in the example with a single keyword, or without some form of qualifier. The compiler wouldn't be able to differentiate the behavior.
