(Has been discussed in the following.)  At this point, I do not intend to
work on any kinds of cleanup, but rather just the "mechanical" changes:

Right.  And possibly some kind of omp-simd.c, and omp-checking.c, and so
on, if feasible.  (I have not yet looked in detail.)

So, has time now come to execute this task?  (To remind: the idea
explicitly has been to do this late, shortly before the gcc-6-branch gets
created, to make it easy in the following months to apply patches to both
trunk and gcc-6-branch.)
