I am misunderstanding something. In the pull request, you mentioned that

> The intent of put(r, e) is to provide a universal generic interface for putting stuff into stuff using a unified syntax. As such, adding policies and options works against that charter. We're better off defining independent functions such as putArray etc.

However, put already contains policies for handling arrays, ranges, delegates,
etc. All I've attempted to do, on that front, is to add all the variations
(i.e. edge cases) on those concepts, so that generic code functions correctly.

The other feature I've added is some external control of those policies, a
feature which is a interim measure until UFC is working.
