Sure, and that is reasonable. But I think the real goal is "give this
information in a not-painfully slow manner". So if we can do it by
walking a smaller graph twice, I think that is OK, too.

Heh. I have to admit I don't care enough to work on this personally,

doing is subtly different, and our discussion has diverged to something
that, if it ever came to pass, would be a separate feature.
