Are there any features from other programming languages that should not be ported to Arc? Which parts of Arc do you think are redundant?

Rather redundant as this can be fitted in the prior poll. http://arclanguage.com/item?id=1440

Let's try to keep all this information in one post, that was the idea behind my original poll: To collect it all in one place. This just fragments it again.
