Hi Paul,

Thank you for the detailed explanation; it helps clarify the constraints
significantly.

I understand your concerns regarding bootstrapping and portability,
especially for non-POSIX environments like Windows and VMS. Given these
complexities, could you please guide me on how best to proceed?

If there are specific areas where incremental cleanups or improvements
would be more appropriate and useful, I would be happy to focus my efforts
there instead.

Thanks again for the guidance.

Best regards,

Shubham Chakraborty
