And a meta question: Should I be trying to submit this feature some other way?

I've really appreciated all the reviews[1], and the testcases are
undoubtedly better because of them.  The code too, but the reviews
have focused almost exclusively on the testcases so far.  Is
merge-recursive just too hairy and my changes too large for folks to
stomach tackling?  Is there something different I could do?

I'm curious for any thoughts on the matter.

Thanks!
Elijah
