not clear when we'll be cutting a 1.8 release so i'm not sure about safety
but this is clearly a cool capability and it is just a matter of finding a
committer to review it with sufficient bandwidth and expertise. things
impacting security are super important and not being record oriented makes it
less useful for sure. I haven't looked at the details in a while to see if you
added that. I'd go so far as to recommend not offering a non record approach
but i wouldnt say that is a rule - just a recommendation
