Trevor, I think a lot of us are excited to learn more about how you pulled this off!
I encountered early thoughts on this topic as well, but found it difficult to get a clear sense of how to go about in a way that would be viable. I think any more details you can provide on that would be helpful to others considering similar structures. Thanks!
