There is an aspect of this position that has not been explicitely ( is this a
word?)  yet, and makes me sceptical if there is a general solution to solve this
one with chess knowledge ( without hurting performance in others ) .

The centre is flexible and not fixed here!  My gut feeling is that *in this kind
of position* g4 will more often than not fail to a timely d5 or e5. If there is
an engine that does very well in this kind of position ( where the pawn storm
works), it might be interesting to test it on some exceptions.
