I agree. Trying to be too clever about this stuff is a sure fire way to agony.

But hey, don't let theories spoil the practice. Plugins are great for
trying out disruptive changes like that to see if it fits. And
considering the scale of such a change, there would be no way any of
these ideas would make it in anyway before proving themselves as a
widely used and cherished plugin.

So do get programming.
