It would be better to decide what the right design is and make the minor code changes to support it if necessary.

Fully agreed.

I'll try to be even clearer: *everything else being equal*, it's nice
when no programming is needed. If nobody can come up with a clever
solution that allows us to have our cake and eat it too, then that's the
end of the story. I'm not asking that we restrict ourselves to what is
doable without programming.

It was just a data point... *sigh*
