Hi,
The previous version was good to go and ready for a commit as soon as the final review is finalized. About David’s proposal, I’m still a little unsure, but it seems like it has a lot of potential. What do you all think? If it’s a strong direction to explore, maybe David could join us as a co-author and work with us to bring the feature.
Regards,
Maiquel.
