I'd have loved to use 'git revert d3f4628e', but that ends up creating
a lot more work: recall the big move made by 1/5?  I'm trying to
"effectively port the inverse of the changes made by d3f4628e in
revert.c to sequencer.c" -- would you still like to see a git-revert
style commit message?  Don't you think it'll be misleading?

Sorry about the shoddy commit messages though: I'm polishing the
series now that I'm convinced that it's heading in the right
direction.  Hopefully, I'll have more to show soon.

Thanks.
