Cross-input signature aggregation has a lot of headaches unless you're
using BLS signatures, in which case you always aggregate everything all the
time because it can be done after the fact noninteractively. In that case
it makes sense to have a special aggregated signature which always comes
with a transaction or block. But it might be a bit much to bundle both lisp
and BLS support into one big glop.

HTLCs, at least in Chia, have embarrassingly little code in them. Like, so
little that there's almost nothing to compress.

My mental model of Bitcoin is to pretend that segwit was always there and
the separation of different sections of data is a semantic quibble.

In general if people footgun that's their own fault. The resistance to
covenants and capabilities in the past has largely been around what would
happen if you had opt-out covenants which acted as riders and could monkey
around in later spends which were none of their business. But if they're
fully baked into the scriptpubkey then they're opted into by the recipient
and there aren't any weird surprises.
