It's an experiment; simple consensus (if that!) should be 
sufficient to try it out.  Get it out there, let people kick it 
around a little, find the use cases that make it turn out to 
actually suck.  If it feels as nice in practice as it looks like 
it will, great!  If not, it gets changed until it does or it goes 
back to the drawing board.

"Some people think this looks pretty good and is fit for 
inclusion in Phobos; but others are on the fence and we don't 
know for sure, so we need to run an experiment to find out."
