I admit I'm still not sure on this point, and seeing "fix them" makes me
even more unsure, so: do you think the targets' tests of no_new_pseudos
are somehow bad?  My point is that I've been using "no_new_pseudos" _in
preference to_ "reload_in_progress || reload_completed" because I find
it much more mnemonic.  I certainly haven't been using it because the
code had to handle "no_new_pseudos && !reload_in_progress &&
!reload_completed".

That's why it seems so odd to me to want to get rid of the port uses
and not replace it with something directly equivalent.  I just don't
see how it qualifies as a clean-up.  I think tying the ports even
more to reload-specific conditions, even when we already have a more
abstract concept, is the wrong way to go.
