I'm trying to resurrect [1] and have rebased it to latest master (675a4aaf3b ("Ninth batch", 2020-08-19)). Peff said [2] (of v1) that the overall direction seems reasonable and Josh Steadmon said [3] (of v2) that it looks mostly good except for possible improvements to commit messages and comments. Josh did not list out specific improvements to commit messages but I have taken his suggestions for comments.
