If you had read the proposal, you’d know that was brought up, obviously.

Fair enough — I need to update the proposal with the new details.

Sure, but that was referring to a single point (changing how standard
Sequence slicing would work), and it’s not how I would have phrased it. I
might have said:

"no one has suggested otherwise"

If not one is proposing something, it doesn't much matter how many folks
have been involved in the conversation :-)

As for not many people having contributed to the conversation, I'm a bit
surprised -- there is a LOT of discussion about all kinds of ideas that are
never going to see the light of day.

Maybe that's a good sign -- if people don't pile on to tell me why it's a
bad idea, maybe it has a shot :-)

Or it's because I didn't put much text in email, but rather pointed to an
external git repo.

If/when I can find the time, I'll updated my ideas and post again.
