I see that Akihiko has asked for this not to be merged, so I'll
drop this pull req.

Akihiko: for the future, if you want an on-list pullreq
to not be merged, please reply to the cover letter, not to
an individual patch. I am very unlikely to notice replies
to individual patches before I do a merge. (I only noticed
in this case because somebody happened to point it out to
me on IRC.)

thanks
