Thank you very much for the detailed, well-articulated, and constructive post.
I’m going to link to this thread from our internal issue tracker. We’re still in the process of designing the Mechanics Guide, and we may not address the examples you’ve raised before we have a firmer idea of what will - and what won’t - be available in the guide. I can guarantee you that we will be discussing this, and we’ll address each of these at some point.
In the meantime, I’d encorage anyone who would like to add additional examples to do so. The only caveat being to please add them in new posts, rather than editing existing posts we may have already seen - this helps ensure that nothing ‘falls through the cracks’, as it were.
Thanks!
