Gulp.

I started an alternative implementation, and got it to the point where
it was basically working (but I didn't completely trust it).  And I did
a small fix or two on your patches, but I seem to recall there were one
or more todo's there too.

Then I dropped both for a couple weeks.

I'll take a harder look this afternoon....
