Well, this is pretty late in the 1.4.0 game and honestly I am
pretty reluctant to merge this in, push 1.4.0 out in 48 hours
and leave for nearly a week.

So either we would reschedule 1.4.0 and shoot for June 24th, or
do 1.4.0 this weekend as planned, and leave this as the first
item (perhaps the second, after applying many small clean-ups
I've privately received, which I haven't acted on other than
quickly reviewing and asking the submitter to rebase and resend
cc'ing the list) in the post-1.4.0 development cycle.  This
potentially is a candidate to backport to 1.4.X series.

My preference is to cook this in "next" for a while and merge it
post 1.4.0.
