I can overwrite it with special cases whenever I need to, and it takes up very little mental space (as opposed to the rules needed to generate it). I hated working in Rails because of all the magic. I love working in Go because of the lack of magic. But y'know. I'm sure it'll suit someone. Good luck with it OP.
