Bravo!

As you might have noticed, I came up with exactly the same concept (even
the same name) in a related thread, but without the full analysis that
Ian provided.

Ian, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE submit this to the ISO/ANSI committee in
their comment format. One suggestion if you do this, write all of the
implementation descriptions as parenthetic asides to illustrate that
this is easy to implement. The standard does not mandate any specific
implementation of features, it just describes semantics.
