It appears that you misunderstood what I wrote.  That was not "here
is a design; I want it in my system.  Go implemment it".

It was "If somebody wants to discuss it but does not know where to
begin, doing a small experiment like this and reporting how well it
worked here may be one way to do so.", nothing more.
