"Rip" was what I had in mind --- the idea is to simplify the code,
which you will surely agree is too complicated as it stands. ifdefs
won't simplify the code or make it more understandable, rather the
reverse.
I have no problem with complex code when it's needed, but in this case
the ptype implementation of almost-ISO notation seems to me to affect
much more of the code than it has any right to on a usefulness basis.
