And what does stretching an Aggregate do? It can't just stretch all
sub-objects - some of them might not be stretchable. That's why I
think F should provide stretch methods. It's simpler. Then you can
stop thinking about whether an object is stretchable or not, and
whether or not to put it in the "attachments". They all become the
same and you can put them all in the same place. Simpler for the user.

No. :)

The fact that a function table has no duration is just a detail.
