Thanks. It seems that we have a bit of hashing out the approaches that is necessary between Michael's and this one. I'll refrain from picking this up for today (even though I would read it through as time permits). It might turn out to be necessary to drop those five early patches from my tree when this series gets rerolled to take input from the alternative Michael's working on, but that droppage does not have to happen today.
