The baseline question is: what is the consequence for someone who doesn't use the extension. I've never turned it on, I have no idea of the consequences. It's been around for some two years already (8.6). Is it commonly used?

While we are pleading for things, I'd really like to have BlockArguments on by default, as I use them all the time, and I really don't think that adding the extension to a module adds much information.

I realize that this is mostly a stylistic issue, and some programmers are going to prefer to write explicit parens, which is perfectly fine and in now way incompatible with BlockArguments.

Personally I like the extension because, while it takes a bit of getting used to, for me it leads to less syntactic noise in the code, which makes it easier to read and manipulate code.
