FWIW It's not at all clear to me how this requirement would be implemented in practice: "This syntax would explicitly be limited to orphan implementations."

Maybe I'm missing something, but the compiler can tell whether an implementation is an orphan. That's how you get an error message today if you try to write one. So I don't know what difficulty you have in mind.
