I also understand the consistency aesthetic, and I would support efforts to make it feasible. The onus to "write a patch", though, is on the side of people championing this aesthetic. :)
In Germany there is a law: If you damage environment in the course of a construction, you must compensate this somehow. E.g. if you fell a tree you must plant some new ones. Analogously, if you reduce type safety in a way then add compensation in another way. That is, I also think that it is the obligation of the instance proposers to also implement some instance warning. I would not be surprised if they find out this way that we have a case of YAGNI.
