That is what confused me.  Usually people don't share prototypes this
early with the mailing list.  But of course it is also up to you where
you'd like to have this kind of a feature added, as soon as it is mature
enough.

But as mentioned in my comments, you should clarify what the "DWIM"
aspect of your script is.  Find-file already has some DWIM-ish stuff
going on with the "future history" (M-n), so I am guessing your plan is
to do something different?
