I did not dismiss it, and I regret you interpreted it that way ;-)
The meaning I gave to “core element of the next steps” was that practically every patch touches that part in one way or another. So changing it and keeping it consistent essentially means redoing a good fraction of the whole series by hand. That’s a lot of churn.
I could do it if I saw value in doing the change. But I feel like I replied to Frediano’s objections on this topic, as well as to yours. I also believe that the code is significantly simpler, more type-safe and more readable the way I wrote it, for example because we get a warning or an error if we forget a field.
Does that address your objection?
