No. It implies that you will be able to do what setfenv/getfenv did

Hmmm... if that's the case... why not keep setfenv/getfenv and
re-implement it in terms of _ENV?
(There are some caveats
[see message from Mark Hamburg], but it is mostly doable.)
Are you referring to the, hmm, subtlety about shared _ENV?
"If you want to follow the original semantics, it is still possible
(mostly), but it is not trivial. "

That seems a good reason enough (i.e. not trivial) to let
setfenv/getfenv implement it, no?
Also, out of curiosity, what's driving that sudden hatred for
setfenv/getfenv and the apparent new quest to replace it with these
various 'in' or '_ENV' or ... proposals?
