All correct, except that it happend in 2.2 timeframe.

A new experimental feature is shipped, so that people can gain
experience with it and come up with the best practice in their
hooks, and then laster we may fold the best practice into somewhere
deeper in the system.

We are still in the early "ship an experimental feature to let
people play with it" stage.

Thanks.
