I actually set out to do something else, but then ended up here.. weird
how that works ;-)

My initial idea was to try and get rid of the pick_next_entity()
downward walk by keeping that data up-to-date when we dequeue/enqueue.

That all got a tad convoluted, I'll have to try it again. Anyway, that
ended up needing to rework the put/set stuff, and that part wasn't as
bad.
