I fixed up all your review comments, but yes we don't care about this internally
anymore so it's been de-prioritized. I have to rebase onto the new stuff,
re-run tests, fix any bugs that may have creeped in, but the current code
addressed all of your comments. Once I get time to get back to this you'll have
a new version in your inbox, but that may be some time.
