I will review the above. However, a new API can be treated as separate from
the refactoring which is all this series really does. It doesn't do anything
that I saw beyond moving existing code into a separate module and wrapping the
use of the buffer and tokens. In that sense, it seems to me that this can be
considered a first step toward a redesigned API by first removing duplicate code
and reusing some of the existing code.
