I see your point. From a social point we, as a community, screwed up:
finding an acceptable common ground for everyone should not have taken
more than a good one-hour brainstorm, and a couple of hours of
coding/reviewing. We had plenty of occasions for this! I am frustrated
myself about all the energy and hurt feelings we wasted there.
This does not necessarily mean, though, that this was not the right
thing to do technically speaking.
Anyway, whether `combinatorial_map` is the right long term approach or
not is orthogonal to this ticket.
Let's move on, focus on the technical solutions, and act together;
that's the best way to heal the community.
Cheers!
Nicolas
