Given the greater complexity of this patch, we've decided to put it on hold for now. We'll keep it in our back pocket in case we need it in the future. Since you are withdrawing the 'bp/fastindex' branch, I won't send the patch to fix up the sparse warnings (unless you would like to see it before you put it in your back pocket). ;-) ATB, Ramsay Jones
