I think we'd all love to have it, if we could get it with reasonable
performance and without an undue amount of complexity. What you're
up against is a lot of skepticism that that's going to be possible.
Which then translates into wondering whether partial solutions are
worthwhile, if they won't ever get extended to full solutions.
(So, in that sense, discussing possible implementations now is not
premature --- we need to calibrate what we believe is possible.)
