My plan is do a round of testing and review of this stuff next week
once the dust is settled on the current minor releases (including
fixing a few typos I just spotted and some word-smithing). All going
well, I will then push the resulting patches to master and all
supported stable branches, unless other reviews or objections appear.
At some point not too far down the track I hope to be ready to
consider committing that other patch that will completely change all
of this code in the master branch, but in any case Craig's patch will
get almost a full minor release cycle to sit in the stable branches
before release.
