I've seen this in BEAM as well and I really like it. - I'm finishing up the initial work for FLIP-3 (Docs restructuring) and hope to post something to the mailing list later today about it.
- I will start working on top of Aljoscha's and Stefan's pull request #2376 with an initial version for non-partitioned rescalable state. I think that this will continue into next week. - Other than that, I want to write down a shirt FLIP for exposing the savepoint/checkpoint unification to the user (internal refactoring is an open PR #2366).
