I hate feeling like I shut the door on something. Let's make sure we can salvage as much as possible here: 1. The structure of the patch looked like it was reusable regardless of whe= ther the final syntax used a typename of a cast, right? Let's not lose that= . 2. Examining parameters from this perspective gave some good insight into t= he behavior of the system when implicitly converting inputs. > I truely thank you for helping me understand your concerns. I only wish = they could have been shared more clearly at the POC phase so we could have = avoided this altogether... >=20 > Thanks, >=20 > Anthony I'm sorry for not raising the concerns well enough earlier.
