Looks good Joao, I was about to ping Christoph and Jason to make sure
their review comments are fully addressed before pulling this into my
dax tree, but I see Andrew has already picked this up. I'm ok for this
to go through -mm.
It might end up colliding with some of the DAX cleanups that are
brewing, but if that happens I might apply them to resolve conflicts
and ask Andrew to drop them out of -mm. We can cross that bridge
later.
Thanks for all the effort on this Joao, it's a welcome improvement.
