It is not about restricting ourselves to a subset, it is about picking
something that is more readable for the majority of readers.

It is also advantageous for the submitter, because one wants reviewers
to have the easiest time possible reading your code, and reviewers
will be, in some cases, new to Rust.

Cheers,
