Whether it's "superfluous" depends entirely on one's PoV.
You can even write in the old style if you have the extension turned on. It doesn't disable the old way of doing things. It just allows a new way. It's entirely backwards compatible with working code when turned on, is it not?
Except now there are two "dialects" everybody has to read/understand. That's not progress IMO. (Considering that it's so little gain. I really don't understand the hatred of $ that some people seem to have.) Regards,
