Wow.  That's a huge patch.  :-)

I've only...  skimmed it (if you can call it that), but the main idea is
sound.  As there isn't any test harness for this, really, I guess the
only way to find out whether there's any fallout from this change is to
apply it and see what breaks, and then fix that.  So when it's applied
you should be on hand to quickly fix breakages over the next week or
so.  :-)
