  If we construct a lattice fermion formulation, there are a number of goals to
be considered: doubling should be avoided; even at finite lattice spacing, we
want to represent chiral symmetry in a sound way; and we are seeking a good
scaling behavior. Conceptually we have to require locality, and for practical
purposes we even desire a high level of locality. A further issue is a good
approximation to rotation invariance. Last but not least the formulation should
be simple enough to allow for efficient simulations. Here we report on a
construction, which is designed to do justice to all of these goals.
