I don't claim that I read 1300+ long [PATCH 5/9] carefully, but I like the
direction in which this topic is going very much.

Except that [PATCH 2/9] looked quite out of place---more like "I wanted to
sneak this feature in" than "this was needed to keep the resulting code
backward compatible" or anything like that.

Off the top of my head, I don't think of a reason to say that [PATCH 3/9]
is going in a wrong direction---is there a reason to make you worried in
the particular change?
