I don't know anything about sandpiles except the ones at our beach.  But in 
this case I would not be surprised if there were people who cared enough 
about it - and about accurate code - that this could get reviewed.

David (P.), one thing you could do to help that is to make a comment on 
your ticket (or edit the description) to make it clear which line numbers 
etc. would be self-contained review units.  Then someone could review a 
piece at a time, at least mentally.

There is also "git add -p" which apparently allows you to decide which 
hunks (in the patch sense) you want to add to a commit, and you could break 
your branch up into smaller "bite-sized" chunks that way.  See 
https://cbx33.github.io/gitt/afterhours5-1.html for a pretty informative 
post that continues to affirm my contention that git does way too many 
things with way too few commands :)  But I am not a git expert and have 
never tried this, so I can't say how annoying that might be.  Still, it 
could be a way to at least break this ticket into more easily reviewable 
commits without actually making separate branches.
