### Details of Bahex on Focus Periods

the idea of having short-term periods focusing on specific areas/themes was previously brought up by @sholderbach and @rose and I've been thinking about it on and off since then there are several areas that would benefit immensely from this, like globbing, tabled (& explore), and the parser

we don't have to stop working on other things during these focused periods, but everyone getting more familiar with different parts of the codebase and having a more cohesive direction is really important
