This spawned a long thread, that isn't clearly resolved IMHO. So, I
haven't merged it, or the other patches that follow it in this series.
Am I mistaken? Did this get resolved? If not, are some of the later
patches still interesting?
Unless I hear otherwise, I'll be dropping the rest of this series...
