I think Peter is pretty frustrated by the many attacks on "his" library. There are probably a number of different things going on simultaneous: Peter has been driven into the defense by attacks both reasonable and unreasonable, there have been misunderstandings all around, teasing out use cases (by both parties) has been a problem.

As one of those people who has been critical of parts of Peter's module, I'd like to publicly say that I mostly like it. Sometimes we focus too much on the negatives and don't remember to give credit where credit is due.

Hopefully we can reach consensus, or at least understanding, on the remaining issue(s).
