Please could you open an issue and describe what your high-level goal is?

I want to avoid "the X/Y problem" where someone wants to achieve goal X,
then thinks "I'll do that using method Y", then asks for help with method Y,
without revealing that their goal is actually X.

Otherwise, I think there's a danger of having well-intentioned merge
requests adding features that have a cost (in terms of time taken to
develop, time taken to maintain, performance, security or whatever) but
do not actually benefit you.
