Didn't get a chance to mention this yesterday, but it looks like you
hadn't seen the updated version I sent on the third. Message ID is:
<20170203193805.96977-1-ahferroin7@gmail.com>
The only significant difference is that I updated the description for
the writablility issue using a much better description from Graham Cobb
(with his permission of course).
If you want, I can send an incremental patch on top of the original to
update just that description.
