Patches 1, and 2 from my original RFC rebase on top of this pretty
nicely. I'd like to keep those, as it completes ripping out the.

Also, given what I know about the future, I still like the (unposted)
RFC I was working on as I think it makes everything cleaner - but you
weild the power, and I just want to get real work done.

I'll post the rebased 2 patches to this series in a few minutes.
