On one hand, this still is a risky territory
of libraries leaning heavily into things that libraries shouldn't do
because they can never guess the weird ways they're being used
when they have existing interfaces to deny operations with some algorithms.

On the other hand, this makes much more sense to me
than the stdout/stderr proposal.
Especially if it accompanies a drawn-out multicycle change,
it could be a noticeable impact dampener.
