I'm not sure what you mean here exactly. I think that is pretty much as
simplified as possible for that method. Other than that, It believe each method
in the spaces API needs to have generics applied as well as possible. I think
sending you a patch is possibly the best way to do that as you mentioned in
another email unless there is something you believe we need to go over here. I
just don't completely understand the question; apologies.
I'll hook up with Jeff, throw something together, and everyone can check it
out.
Then I believe we can talk about consensus etc. Considering the conversation
and
the different issues, I don't think we'll reach that point until we have some
impl to poke around in.
Thanks,
Wade
