This is the primary reason that this proposal resurfaced :)

I've originally proposed[1] something like this almost a decade ago, but when I
started trying to write the actual specs I hit a brick wall: it was simply not
tractable.

With LLMs, writing the specs is something we can actually pull off, and we can
verify their correctness so LLMs don't get to hallucinate.

The specs you see in the following patches are all LLM generated.
