Honestly, I am not sure that this worth bothering about. This comes down to a balance between the code complexity and the likelihood of a failure, and the odds are not in favor of the later IMO. Now, it could be perhaps possible to make such a change simple enough while it avoids a lot of technical debt, but we have a lot of custom rules particularly in src/bin/, so changing all that or even require that in future changes is not really appealing. -- Michael
