This seems to me to be a sensible approach. Why something this simple is not used into first place is beyond me. I'd like to see this experimented with using Merlin which lacks the selector approach and in my opinion is cleaner for it: I just really dislike the mechanism where a composite String based key is constructed by concatenation. However Merlin does need a clean selector substitute. This mechanism might be what it was waiting for. Also lets stop talking about 'hints'. These are keys so why not just call them that?
