I agree with your speculation, and suspected that it wasn't a new-new piece,
just a new-to-me piece. Given that I have to import any Scala, and use
another country's catalog to even see it, I'm not surprised I haven't run
across the piece before.
My private speculation was that we would see the piece later this year in
something. (or that it had shown up in LoM or some other theme that doesn't
interest me. Like Scala.)
thanks,
James
