Yea, this may be sticky, as it's not just code re-used from one dual
licensed file, but combination of GPL2 work, so advice here would be
appreciated.

This will need some more series rework to solve. I've got some ideas,
but we'll see if they work.

As I mentioned, it's a holdover from earlier code, and I'm happy to
drop it and defer to other accounting/stats discussions that are
ongoing.

True. I didn't spend much time with documentation, as I worried folks

Thanks so much again for the review and feedback! I really appreciate
your time here.
