A succinct relisting of those reasons would be
good, IMO. I, for one, completely missed them.
There's nothing I'm aware of that's better suited
for this than using a symbol property. Simple;
flexible; usable by any party, anywhere, anytime.
No mess, no fuss. No source code changes (except
to get & test the property).
What's going on instead -- has been, still is,
incomplete, and will need updating forever --
seems complicated, error prone, time-consuming,
overengineered, and simply not necessary.
IMHO. (But what do I know?)
