Aye, definitely - the cases where I've taken this approach have been
ones where I had co-authors, so we were discussing low level details
from really early on, and the PR served as the venue for coming to an
internal agreement amongst the co-authors before presenting the shared
proposal to everyone else.

It's not a substitute for the broader PEP review and discussion
process, but I do believe it can help reduce some of the noise in that
broader discussion (since low level clarifications can be kept
separate from the more conceptual reviews).

Cheers,
Nick.
