It looks quite a lot different -- as far as I can tell from reading the patch, it does what it says on the bottle, that is, it (random-)dithers the truncated precision into the lowest bit(s) of the 8-bit precision that we support.
Conceptually I like this, and the gotchas are toggleable via the UI.
