Hey Benno, thanks for this! I actually injured my arm a couple of days back so I haven't been able to apply and compile this yet to try it.

Maybe we'd want something like --modern as the name for enabling the name of the larger scale bindings?

Just speaking for myself, I have no concerns with patch #1 as it is described. For #2, even better than an invocation check for me would just be a toggle to switch between the modes, but the invocation check is a lovely idea also.

Have a good evening.
