Indeed the solution worked out yesterday could be extracted and turned generic.
Some in-depth testing is necessary though, and possibly some qualifications to allow pass-through of references...
Moreover, last days I started collecting notes regarding problem solving patterns,
which I tend to use frequently, but which might not be obvious and thus can easily
be forgotten. In fact, I had encountered several cases, where I did invent some
roughly similar solution repeatedly, having forgotten about already settled matters.
Hopefully the habit of collecting notes and hints at a central location serves to remedy
