I am in favor of this for the same reasons mentioned by the previous reviewers.

Yes.

I think so.

I am only aware of Rust and I haven't used that enough to make any meaningful comparisons.

I read the proposal and followed the previous threads discussing the proposal and the keyword.

Speaking of which, `associatedtype` remains my favorite. I don't think its ideal but I prefer it to the alternatives that were considered.
