I never meant to imply that it was but rather to point out that we might
have users who actually want to get an error when they're changing a
type definition which goes beyond the scope of the explicit action (and
therefore could very well have more side-effects than they realize),
rather than just doing it for them.

I'm still not convinced you'll be able to do it in a sensible and
reliable way, but you're certainly welcome to continue exploring.
Thanks,
