Aha! OK, that's fine. I'll do that.

Well, as long as it's just for 2.24, and not a NAK for ever (which seems
likely given that Adhemerval *contributed* to these changes and seemed
to like the general idea of them), I'm happy enough with that -- they've
been stuck in limbo since *2.9*, after all. I'm happy to submit them for
2.25.

They are, ah, a bit risky for this late in the cycle: there are surely
obscure arches the series hasn't been tested on and won't be tested on
until it hits trunk.
