Redesign as if the requirement had been there from the start. The result should look like what we would have built if we'd known on day one.\r\n\r\n- Read all affected files and understand the current design holistically\r\n- Ask: \"if we were writing this from scratch with this new requirement, what would we build?\"\r\n- Propagate the change through every reference: types, docs, examples, rationale sections\r\n- Think about the redesign holistically, then deliver it incrementally\r\n\r\nThis is the method for preserving option value when integrating changes into an existing design.\r\n"
