Nah, the existing implementation is pretty decent, actually, but doesn’t address every use case and has some flaws that are hard or impossible to fix. But for lots of use cases it works great.

This. Having worked with it for over a decade the existing one is basically fine. Simple and clean interface.

New one solves some niche problems I think were probably just best left to third party libraries,
