Great to hear that. Thanks for all your work.

I'm finishing up some analysis of corner cases, but nothing major.
So I'm glad to see this is moving along. I've been nitpicking a lot,
but this is clearly a huge improvement and there are practical
limitations against a theoretically perfect solution. In any case the
changes will also make future policy adaptions much easier.

Thanks,
Thomas
