I'm planning to use this as a dependency for another proposal that I'm currently working out. I think it won't get much clearer before that, sorry (and it could possibly still be a bad idea after all).
Maybe I should have delayed publishing this proposal but it seemed atomic enough and I wanted to get feedback on it as early as possible. Your other comment below shows me that this wasn't entirely futile at least.

Yes, in fact I'm planning to use this as a dependency for another proposal that involves bots. Sorry, this isn't clearer right now.
