Thanks -- yea I should have been more clear that I know we need the
opposite direction and what the formula is, but thank you for
confirming that.

Right, OK, thanks that makes sense to me.

I think if I am understanding what you wrote correctly the
implementation I did for v2 for the base combined with the txq2sq
mapping I proposed above is equal to solution #2 you describe. I
think.

That said... I can understand why you might prefer solution #1 so I
will start over and try implementing that one for the v3.

Thanks for the guidance.
