   @mildsunrise @david_chisnall I generally think in a lot of those cases the solution is rethinking the abstraction a bit

   The problem is often less “I have to do multiple things” and more “doing these things requires so much extra code” and e.g. this might mean that e.g. your API should be more monadic

     @david_chisnall @mildsunrise @erincandescent also these kinds of things are why convenience APIs exist for the most common cases. It's fantastic if your API is hyper flexible but it's not fantastic if you expect 90% users to do configuration you can simply do automatically
