Hi everyone,

yesterday i tried yet again to reshape node structure to allow the
integration of function-definition.
every time i work with something around those structures it becomes
apparent, that its immensely fragile to work within it with backward
compat in mind,
its so deeply cross-related that every time we try something, something
else breaks (just remember the fallout of the introduction of `Package`).

as such i want to enable iteration and breaking apis in that area since
its simply impossible to sustainable evolve it right now, and im unable
and unwilling to throw away a immense amounts of time to keep everything
surrounding working exactly as is.

the caveat is, that i expect to be at least 10-15 iterations each doing
a micro-breakage around a completely messy area of the api.
i would like to note that i consider  this crisscross de-tanglement as
an absolute necessity to the development of pytest, if we cant detangle
massive debts and messes like that, we should just start over from the
beginning.
