This was actually sent out just before rc0, but Patrick requested some
changes in v1.  (I forgot to thread it to the previous version,
unfortunately.)  I would like to have it in 2.54 if we can because I
suspect 2.55 will be the last release before 3.0, so that doesn't give
much time for people to update and adjust if there are problems.
