Hope it was a good one 
I think we should also be careful not to make things more complicated than they need to be; I’ve often found that codebases rarely takes the direction you thought they’d take. In this case in particular I think we’re aiming for a small fix while we hash out the details for a “perfect” solution (lots of great ideas being floated in the original thread).
Did you try the two originally proposed solutions? Were there any issues?
