Demonstration of what it does at the moment:

I'd like to preserve the author time stamps as they relate to where in the world I was when the corresponding code was written. You'll notice I didn't work on the code in the same order as it is now presented.

Still open question: what to do with a thin pack. Should we really complete it with local objects upon reception, or were we only over paranoid at the time we imposed this rule? Fixing a thin pack version 4 could be possible but not very eleguant. Hence my pondering about relaxing this rule.

Comments welcome !
