  "Smart" is a non-label to me and pretty lazy; it's like someone did a lame attempt at branding an option as cool instead of just putting some effort into finding a succinct description of what it aims for.
  
  The strings suggested by the patch seem like a nice improvement in clarity and making the system learnable and controllable. For as long as we pride ourselves on being "powerful when needed", that's what we should aim for - a system doing magic things you can't reason about isn't empowering.
