There's a threshold where it's just easier to write a patch than to file a bug. It's more likely to result in a fix, but it can be more labour intensive.
I don't know where the line is. It seems to depend on the community's interest in patches, and whether you have commit privs.

I'm debating whether `from foo import *` is a bad feature for my toy programming language.
Forcing `import foo as f` and later `f::bar()` is so much more amenable to local static analysis. You also don't get issues with name clashes.
It's certainly convenient though.
I'm still not sure whether a language should include a "kitchen sink linter" like Rust's clippy or have a package oriented "thousand flowers bloom" linter like eslint for JS and TS.
Clippy is delightful out of the box but eslint makes it so easy to have project specific lints.
One interesting aspect of collecting coins in a platformer like mario: it makes the level stateful.
You can see if you've been somewhere before based on whether there are coins present.
