I'm sorry for any confusion. I didn't send patch #3 because I thought  
there was agreement that it would be better to disable the check in  
the tool than make any code changes.
We also do not intend to follow up with the IDL refactoring as per  
your earlier comments. If you would like us to resend any of the  
patches for further debate or archiving, I will.

On behalf of Josh, Harley, and myself, I'd like to thank the  
maintainers for reviewing our patches.
