One could argue that it's cleaner to drop it now and explore re-introducing 
it
in the effort to develop that template.

It sounds like what you're suggesting would be quite different from (and
more complex than) l=, and would have very different semantics compared
with the current numeric definition of l=.


In its entirety, yes.

My guess is that there is some benefit in a piece like (or the same as) l=, but 
the important difference is that it would be fit into an integrated mechanism, 
rather than just sit there piecemeal.
