Let's go for (2). I'll take a new look after the pull request, but no
guarantees that I'll then pull it.

Btw, I liked the do_lookup cleanups, but nicer commit logs would have
been good. Especially the first lines. The whole

untangling do_lookup(), part 1
untangling do_lookup(), part 2
untangling do_lookup(), part 3
untangling do_lookup(), part 4
untangling do_lookup(), part 5
untangling do_lookup(), part 6
untangling do_lookup(), part 7
untangling do_lookup(), part 8
untangling do_lookup(), part 9
