+1 for inclusion. This is a nicely opt-in feature, and so (barring any regressions) only those intrepid people who want it will be affected. Richard On Jan 6, 2014, at 8:17 AM, Joachim Breitner wrote:

We could put it in the release with warnings saying "the exact details, esp of syntax, might change, but do try it". I'd be ok with that, and we've done it before.
What do other people think?
This feature may be so good that people will use it in, say, released libraries, disregarding the warning.
But it seems that any possible syntax change will only affect those who define pattern synonyms, and not those who use them, and hence only cause work for those disregarding the warning, I’m in favor of inclusion.
