 Agreed.
The question then becomes a matter of where you put the extra layer?  I
suggest this discussion boils down to a matter of perspective.  Does the
extra layer belong outside ST entirely (as now, except via the formatter
backdoor), or does it belong alongside ST to complete ST as a tool to apply
its function purity to diverse datasets?

2 philosophies.  2 answers.

1.  Insular.  Not here.  Add your layer elsewhere.
2.  Generous.  Do it here, alongside ST.  "com.<domain>.<app>.*"

Both are valid.  Which is right for STv4 and ST community at this time?
