A while back I sent out a spiel explaining more clearly why I didn't
like it, and where I thought we should go with this, but I don't think
anyone noticed it at the time. I'll resend.
I started working towards a version of this I liked, but was
sidetracked by a combination of my own other work, and the fact that
Jon's been busy meaning there's a rather large lag on merging dtc
patches.
