I'm going to try to. Unfortunately, they'll require what's basically a
group-up redesign of the basic algorithm, because to get maximum
reliability, you need to carefully account for the amount of storage
you're going to need and the amount of memory you have available, and
'prepare' the image prior to doing the atomic copy.
