Oh, right. I read you as meaning it should be discussed at lojfest. But yes
once we come back to gadri it will probably be impossible to get anything
else done.

Hence Nick's self-deprecating name for his solution. I had been assuming
that any variant on the Excellent Solutions would stand no change of withstanding veto. But I suppose that if NIck's ends up being really really
kludgesome (-- not a foregone conclusion, given it's being done by
Nick), then an ExSol could be presented as an alternative.

Anyway, I still think we should wait to see what Nick comes up with
& not assume in advance it won't fly.
