it's a bad idea and should not be done. its known complexity costs far 
outweigh its imaginable operability benefits. it's camel food, and could only 
come from unrestrained committee-think. we are trying to shrink messages and 
avoid fragmentation; this aggressively moves the actual system in the wrong 
direction. not even ECS was as bad an idea as this is. thanks for asking.
