That'd work, but using the generic infrastructure doesn't allow me to
simplify anything -- I can eliminate three trivial functions, but the
generic code is higher overhead (extra allocations, radix trees, ...)
so I'd prefer to stick with the current approach.

Thanks for catching this, that was pretty silly of me...
