P2SH^2 wasn't a serious proposal-- I just suggested it as a thought
experiment. I don't think it offers much useful in the context of
Bitcoin today. Particularly since weight calculations have made output
space relatively more expensive and fees are at quite non-negligible
rates interest in "storing data" in outputs should at least not be
increasing.

Moreover, unfortunately, people already rushed bech32 to market in
advance of practically any public review-- regrettable but it is what
it is... I don't think adding more address diversity at this time
wouldn't be good for the ecosystem.

What we might want to do is consider working on an address-next
proposal that has an explicit timeframe of N years out, and very loud
don't deploy this--- layered hashing is just one very minor slightly
nice to have... things like coded expiration times, abilities to have
amounts under checksum, etc. are probably more worth consideration.
