I, again, give that a firm "maybe". If the warts end up annoying 1%
of the users who try to use this feature, then you're right. If they
end up making a substantial percentage of people who try to use this
feature give up on it, then we've added a bunch of complexity and
future code maintenance for little real gain. I'm not ruling out the
possibility that you're 100% correct, but I'm not nearly as convinced
of that as you are.
