Thanks! (I will abandon the search for an alternate solution! ;-)

I think the commit message needs to be re-worded before actually submitting
the patch (it's fine for an RFC, but the call-chain info has a limited shelf
life and should go).

Also, I wanted to re-submit two additional patches in that branch; last time
they didn't even make it to pu!  Hopefully they will take at least one step
further this time.

ATB,
