I think those are going to be the hard cases that we should consider. If we think of this as purely an optimization with no changes to correctness, then we can limit the automatic decisions to those things that we understand well. Modifications to the API can help us cut out a bunch of behaviors that we don't understand and are unnecessary and rarely used. If those things that we do understand well cover most of the cases in practice then this is probably a good approach, but I'd really like to see things that don't fit the model. Adam
