It makes perfect sense: I know what I planned when I wrote them, and the
plan was always that when we would replace the channel layout API, it
would be able to express duplicated channels. And we will not demand
users to learn new filters for that.

You can continue to disregard my arguments, and getting close to being
insulting while you are at it, but you will not get me to change my mind
like that. The API, as it is, is rejected. Either we design a good API,
one that can satisfy the needs you see and the needs I see, or we keep
the current, very simple, API. No half-measure that brings all the
drawbacks and almost no benefit.
