Just to avoid any misunderstanding, the the above wasn't meant to
discourage you from proceeding with this submission; I just enjoyed
recalling the Good Old Days (from before I was a committer).
As I said in the last paragraph, if your goal is not specifically this

mode, then I encourage you to move on to larger issues.
