Bah.
What I didn't realize until after pulling this and testing, is that it
completely breaks '%pK'.
We've marked various sensitive pointers with %pK, but that is now
_less_ secure than %p is, since it doesn't do the hashing because of
how you refactored the %pK code out of 'pointer()' into its own
function.
So now %pK ends up using the plain "number()" function. Reading
through the series I hadn't noticed that the refactoring ended up
messing with that.
I'll fix it up somehow.
