There’s no reason to not submit a proposal for it with examples and references to the criticism in this thread and your counter for it. If nothing else, it would consolidate this thread as there have been multiple variations proposed throughout and solidify exactly what the proposal is all about.

My person vote is to not support further grain access controls. It's not because your examples were not reasonable, but because I come from a perspective where I don’t think the language complexity warrants it and the use case is very narrowly focused. Others have been in favor of it though.

So go for it.
