Well it means changes to write_glyphs and rif->write_glyphs in a dozen or so
places in dispnew.c, and a change to x_write_glyph in xdisp.c at least (and
perhaps w32con_write_glyphs).  If you're comfortable with those changes and
still think it's the right approach, I'll do that.

Yes, I think they're equivalent.
