Thanks for taking this up! I have some lingering confusion over the
behavior described in 02/12's commit message, but I am quite convinced
that 02/12 is good - the check that it removes is not needed for
correctness and it doesn't make much sense as safeguard for developers
[1].

Nearly everything else is very obviously correct, and I've
double-checked most of the assertions in the commit messages as well. So
I'm happy to give this my reviewed-by.
