Great! That's exactly the type of justifying use-case we need for a BIP. An OP_CAT will have to have limits on maximum output size; how big an output does your application need? --=20 https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org --pWyiEgJYm5f9v55/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJZIw5JAAoJECSBQD2l8JH7330H/0KNsTfnDNlyZyQslncEptoh LEYfziNSaxob3C3i7U9/4/bYBbRs7oVlDZa7ZDKnJC/PDfGvStDru1Gr+LwEQbwp q4cJE0Y9tkVVmdsnpE859in5N2AUkk3lvMtbj+i0RS+MjdbE7S8JD4roUNP33wn0 JGtP7wbo/s6fqOmBbg9QTXYH0vZAYxXoPVJHAwUnWtvHXazgxSAv5kxQETYzEshZ zJHr1MVD7X+uSjoC86Iyu3/Ej7BI/ASjznrJrjjJ3q3tTefTMG5qQrsnaODU4zkS mhtskQQkFp5BQv75qXTxhCbRzK+x9PrkFxTEB+b0TuSzhy6ZTz1SnzuuvmjH7Zk= =Pb87 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pWyiEgJYm5f9v55/--
