I've read the topic through, and found it a pleasant read.  There
are some questionable use of integer types, some uneven application
of casts, and the reading side API is somewhat underdocumented, but
the overall direction looked quite sane.

I am undecided if I should expect a reroll, or declare what we have
"already good enough" for 'next' and expect incremental refinements,
though.  A reroll that catches all nits would certainly make the
resulting topic's history nicer for future developers to work with,
but its also a pain to re-read essentially the same patches again,
so...
