Incremental steps are usually best. I think mostly you want to avoid 
painting yourself into a corner API-wise. I haven't thought deeply about 
whether your current proposal does that, but at least considering how 
you would extend it to support the things I described should help 
identify blockers and whether you will need additional ABI breaks, etc. 
It's worth at least reading through the code I pointed to with those 
things in mind.
