Yes, that is a good write up, touching on all kinds of aspects, balanced too.
Pretty complicated subject, right ? ;-)
As you mention it is quite hard to reach an agreement.
Objectives/goals are different for everybody.
Since we had those discussions long ago, I've actually grown quite used to
writing
{ #foo->1. #bar->2 } asDictionary
I know it is not super efficient, or super compact, but I can certainly live
with it.
