Quite frankly, I'd prefer that approach. The code is subtle and
horribly bug-fraught, and I absolutely detest the way it looks too.
Reading your patches was actually somewhat painful.

If we could just remove the support for it entirely, that would be
*much* preferable to continue working with this code.

Could we just try that removal, and see if anybody screams?
