| Possibly. Which command allows one to set a pragma? I couldn't spot
:set -XScopedTypeVariables
for example.

I'm not getting this. Perhaps the best thing is for you to propose a design.
(For the user interaction, not for the impl.)

Again, maybe the easiest thing is to specify precisely what you want, since I'm
misunderstanding.

Yes, I did, sorry.
