I'm having troubles falling asleep because my brain insists on rewording
the following (even though --or perhaps exactly because-- there is not
really any need to mention it at all).  So I might as well try if typing
it out helps. ;)

I actually though of that, and the initial poc worked.  I did that late
at night also updated transient to use it.  In the morning I noticed
that there actually were many errors, and while I suspected that the
failure had nothing to do with this part of my change, it still lost
confidence in that approach, and since I felt some pressure to get
things done before the Emacs pre-release I stopped pursuing it.
Somehow I forgot about it when I wrote the above.

Now that you have suggested the same, my confidence is back.  And now
that I have written the above, I should also be able to fall asleep. ;P

I'll only need it once; would you recommend using a helper in that case
too?
