At the moment we are missing the repeatable measurements, which can't 
happened until the @{publish}, and others, have been released and used 
for a while[1], otherwise we [prematurely] are back to one size fits all

I suspect your solution may become the lead candidate for @{p}, but as 
they say, "making predictions is hard, especially about the future".

...) either!
