Well... ;-) in any case, I suspect some of the semantics cogito uses are
starting to break... it's kinda-supported-but-legacy.

So I think we need these niceties in core git for large projects. Right

error-prone. The basic idioms should be simple and fool-proof.

Can we not have something like this merged into the shell version? When
the C version comes, the functionality can be modelled on this.
