Yes, it is ugly naming, I'll change these as follows:
__pin_compound_head() --> grab_compound_head()
__record_subpages() --> record_subpages()
I loved the "nail_compound_head()" suggestion, it just seems very vivid, but
in the end, I figured I'd better keep it relatively drab and colorless. :)

Yes, will fix that up.

Great! I thought I'd have a v7 out today, but fate decided to have me repair
my test machine instead. So, soon. ha. :)
