I don't exactly mean to initiate a shouting match here. Someone liking
(or not) a particular API design can be pertinent, because people are
going to have to use it, after all.

Yup.

I don't think this can work without doing the long-discussed migration
of the completion-table API (or c-a-p-f API) to generic functions.
Upon which we'll lose the capability to mix-and-match using immediate
values and refer to containing lexical scopes in implementations anyway
(while gaining in comprehensibility, structure and better code navigation).
Yet still, even when using generic functions, why would we create an
additional dispatcher mechanism when cl-generic can already do that for
us? To reduce the number of methods in the API description?

Yes, it's orthogonal to the more pressing questions of how information
returned by 'affixation', etc, should look.
