I'm pretty sure you meant to have a section explaining this, since the "this won't work because ..." section is responding to critics of your proposal; did you accidentally cut it when editing?
Didn't cut as much as decided to focus first on assessing the overall wider desirability of such a feature.
See, the problem is, in the proposal as-is you give several examples of code that doesn't work right now, but you don't talk at all about what you want to have happen instead.
And that means I have no idea what "feature" you have in mind, so I have no way to assess whether it might be desirable or not?
