  Comments:
I really don't think we can expect our users to understand that "as たって" (or "as ~たって") is supposed to refer to a verb in the past tense +って. I think we should be explicit.

Also, I think we should get rid of the たって entry, even if it's in the kokugos. I don't think it makes sense in a wa-ei dictionary. I'd much rather we covered that use here. I don't think anybody encountering [past tense verb]+って is likely to arrive at that entry rather than this one.

I think "indicates supposition" was a bad take (it was mine).

Emphasizing that たって is an example of this use of って. Does this work for you? Feel free to amend.

  Comments:
sense 2 "as たって" seems to miss the mark to me. it's not たって its past tense verb +って.

OK. I'll put it back and reference the たって entry.
