Most rigging would shrink more in Winter (but a few would expand when
chilled, wouldn'tcha know?)

Well, if you are designing a high tech racing boat why not use high
tech synthetic rope for rigging. some of it is stronger then stainless
cable and nearly zero stretch.

I can visualize various combinations of rig and mast , it's true. But
a zero-stretch line does not always imply a zero thermal coefficient
line, I don't believe.
