It turns out these changes may require more planning than originally
budgeted. There's a growing dependency on aspects of the `button' module
that haven't been fully sorted, along with a rather heightened potential
for leaking memory, so I'd rather not move too hastily without good
reason. As such, I'll likely be putting a hold on this until 5.7 and
retitling the bug accordingly.
