So from Eric's perspective, it is worthwhile to work on all those
issues, and get the right for the end user -- support things we don't
like, offer foolproof catches and warnings that prevent the user from
shooting their lovely toes off to mars, etc.

I read a few of his blog postings. He kept complaining about the
features of git that I like the most. :)

I can see his arguments about how
"add -p" can be dangerous

Actually, I don't see a very special case here with committing a never
compiled/tested worktree state. You can do this with every VCS (without
an index like git) with just selectively committing files instead of the
whole current worktree.
