earlier discussions on the group and latest documentation updates about
Timers:

A couple of things that are really nice here,
1- Domain specific (CTR in your example). We may find that eventually it's
not possible / practical to build out generic joins for all situations. But
with the primitives available in Beam and good 'patterns' domain specific
joins could be added for di
Interestingly, I'm currently also working on a proposal for generic join
semantics. I plan to send a proposal for review, but unfortunately,
there are still other things keeping me busy. I take this opportunity to
review high-level thoughts, maybe someone can give some points.
The general idea

Interesting! It is a lot to take in and fully grok the code, so calling in
reinforcements...
Generally, I think there's agreement that for a lot of real use cases, you
have to roll your own join using the lower level Beam primitives. So I
