I went through all your responses over the entire thread and I couldn't
find your argument about how this is fundamentally broken. Can you
restate, or maybe give an archive link if I just missed it?

(Saying "but it changes so much of the existing code" is not really a
fundamental problem to me. I mean, it's not like the existing code is
perfect and needs no changes.)
