That worked fine; passed check and dcheck targets.
 
Here's the code:

With confidence that it works, I looked it over some more and now
like this a lot.  It is definitely more readable and should be less
fragile in the face of changes to MVCC bit-twiddling techniques.  Of
course, any changes to the HTSV_Result enum will require changes to
this code, but that seems easier to spot and fix than the
alternative.  Thanks for the suggestion!
 
Having gotten my head around it, I embellished here:

Do those changes look reasonable?  None of that is really
*necessary*, but it seemed cleaner and clearer that way once I
looked at the code with the changes you suggested.
