------------------------------------
But 0.96 gives us some leeway to fix such interfaces. Shall we mark this a
blocker for 0.96?
> Increment does not extend Mutation but probably should

> Increment is the only operation in the class of mutators that does not extend
> Mutation. It mostly duplicates what Mutation provides, but not quite. The
> signatures for setWriteToWAL and getFamilyMap are slightly different. This
> can be inconvenient because it requires special case code and therefore could
> be considered an API design nit. Unfortunately it is not a simple change: The
> interface is marked stable and the internals of the family map are different
> from other mutation types. The latter is why I suspect this was not addressed
> when Mutation was introduced.
