This is my seemingly perpetual problem, either the patches are too
large and contain several "logical" chunks (apparently bad practice),
or they're too small and as you point out, overlap. I'm finding it
difficult converge at a happy medium, apologies.

Indeed, that was my intent, that and more have been factored out in my
repository. I'll carve a new patch tomorrow that takes the type
refactoring a few steps further, then.
