To clarify: I'm not against having an easy way to dump all-and-only
functions. What concerns me is having such a feature that's designed
in isolation, without a plan for anything else. I'd like to create
some sort of road map for future selective-dumping options, and then
we can make sure that this feature fits into the bigger picture.
Otherwise we're going to end up with an accumulation of warts, with
inconsistent naming and syntax, and who knows what other sources of
confusion.
