- decision how to handle the Extent storage (by forced-cast)
- decision to place the administrative record directly into the Extent
TODO not clear yet how to handle the implicit limitation for future deadlines
using a simple yet performant data structure.
Not clear yet if this approach is sustainable
- assuming that no value initialisation happens for POD payload
- performance trade-off growth when in wrapped-state vs using a list
- most notably the NOBUG logging flags have been renamed now
- but for the configuration, I'll stick to "GUI" for now,
since "Stage" would be bewildering for an occasional user
- in a similar vein, most documentation continues to refer to the GUI
