I feel like it is so trivial to change bind2 towards a flexible approach
that it's worth having that specified right from the beginning. I could
imagine use cases where I want MAM but not Carbons. Or MAM, Carbons and
SM, Or just MAM and Carbons.

And I'm curious what Dave further desires. @Dave: Care to drop a few
