Yes, understood. I thought it was interesting to explore what new
capabilities this might offer (or at least in this case some nice
(essential?) enhancements to an existing function).

Great. And yes, understood that the RT would have to be smart about how it
made use of the information available. (It took me a while to wrap my head
around this for the RTs I did last year - so I'm well aware that it's
non-trivial! The nice thing is that once it's done it's totally
transparent to the user - which is usually a solid indicator of a good
design).
