Continuing the theme of self-quotation, under the heading
"Suggestion: no more proposals, only suggestions", I wrote[1]:

--------
A proposal has the following properties:

1. The proposer wants it incorporated in a future Lua and is
not interested in ways to achieve the same effect by exploiting
current features.
2. The proposer continues arguing, rebutting all criticism, even
when almost nobody seems to like the proposal.

A suggestion has the following properties:

1. Well thought out, so that everything that needs to be said
is said and everything irrelevant is omitted.
2. The poster offers it as something to be discussed and does
not enter the discussion again unless requested to.
