I'm surprised to hear that there's a consensus in any language. I'd
expect any "one size fits all" approach to fail drastically. I realize
that this is not what you were looking to discuss, but if you would,
could you at least summarize what are those "common ways for some
languages" are?

For me, "simple" and "adequate" would be inherently conflicting goals,
while "comprehensive" would be implied by "adequate" - but it all
depends upon what you mean by those terms.
