I think the main priority here is having a canonically good toml lib for

If not, we promise to give some excellent code a great home in the toml

Respectfully, this conversation started because of the claim "I have a burning need." I actually cancelled a plan I had <span class="sh-date" data-date-isostring="2021-03-13T01:00:00.000Z">tonight</span> because I wanted to be sure I could be responsive if there was some system going down because of e.g. an outdated set of dependencies. Now the discussion is about how "toml" is a nice name and there are interesting ideas for as-yet unwritten code.

If there really is a burning need, I'm still around. Otherwise I'm feeling a bit duped.
