I think it’s worth avoiding a change in design when you pass some threshold of complexity. The vanilla JS approach has some scaling limitation in term of state graph complexity, and the problem isn’t the ergonomics above and below the threshold, but discontinuous change in ergonomics when you cross that threshold

Indeed at a certain scale the "easy" approach ends up becoming a mess. A simple counter isn't complex enough but this is a great idea and would be a positive for the language.

Well said
