Per Corey's description of the patch (I didn't read it yet), some
of that already happened.  I want to get to buildfarm-green ASAP,
so I'm content to leave other cosmetic changes for later.

BTW, one cosmetic change that I'd like to see is that any tables that
don't go away get marked "const".  I tried to make that happen with
attribute_stats.c's tables in my WIP patch upthread, but found that
the need for const-ness would propagate to some utility functions and
such, so I put the idea on the back burner.
