Interesting notes:
- Most of the votes have come in since the announcement of the proposed final syntax being field access style.
- Field access style has not gone up in the rankings.
- Sigils while popular early on, seem to be very unpopular with the more recent voters. (This may be a difference between those who are reading this form often vs those that wait for the weekly email)
- The plain keyword syntax still leads in both approval and favorites.
