Fascinating.
I just erased a long mail in which I started down different scenarios,
only to realize that in each one, the reintegrate checks would only
declare non-uniformity if the merge source was, in fact, not uniform
w.r.t. the target. In other words, the existing algorithm should
work.
So, can we skip (c) ??
