I cannot edit my comment for some reason, sorry for the typos. About my colleague’s hack don’t get too excited, this is ancient history but it was at the center of a public debate at the time. Some 3rd parties had an ask, the company said it was difficult, this was very true but someone inside came up with a very clever hack that satisfied all parties, the issue was settled and everybody lived happily ever after. It’s just that the nature of the hack relied on very specific implementation details and it’s highly improbably that another implementation would need a hack to begin with, let alone the same hack. It’s one of the many coincidences that I believe will be hard to explain, shall someone really ask.
