Let's start by closing the three flying revisions, so that people that
weren't involved in the discussion don't waste time looking at them.

Graham, can you also add a comment to reflect the change in
implementation while closing?

Second, it would be very good if someone, anyone, would write an RFC
on the new proposal. Graham started it on this thread and on the two
reviews, but this thread is now dead. We should have a new one, with
subject "RFC etc" and the contents of the current understanding, so
that it can serve as context for the two reviews.

Thanks!
