functional can be also interpreted as "easier to read and validate"
which seems to be one of the main drawbacks of the current code.
I'd even be willing to pay the price of a small regression in
functionality, on the grounds that it is better to know that
"X is not implemented" than "X, Y, Z are implemented but we have
no idea if they work in all cases, and no way to test".
As a matter of fact, that would be an improvement, not a regression.
