Yup.  Has any concrete description been presented
in this thread that makes clear what the real
problem to be solved is - the use case behind the
question?

I've only browsed the thread, so apologies if some
actual problem (and its "why") has been specified.
>From just perusing, I haven't noticed any.

As I guessed before, I'm still guessing (so far):

   there's an X-Y problem under the covers here
   somewhere...)

What is it that OP is _really_ trying to do/solve?

I'm guessing that's behind an inability by folks
who've coded zillions of functions to understand
what's being asked/requested.  What's the problem?
