I said it specifically to avoid getting into deep design discussions or code reviews, I just want a general +1 or -1 whether anyone thinks the general concept is useful and whether it's worth looking at implementing something similar. If not one else really cares, it's not worth getting into details about.
Agree that if nobody wants it then going further is not worthwhile, but the world of software design is not black and white. A software design suggestion on a mailing list cannot be summarised by a Farcebook like/dislike count. Suggestions of different interfaces or approaches can change a "don't see the point" into an "aha!, I could use that". Stymieing discussion is not going to get to that point.
I'm not stymieing anything, I'm trying to ask some people who are using this exact pattern whether they (or anyone else using it) has any interest in this general concept, while trying to avoid getting into implementation details or deep design discussions. For that, a new thread should be started.
