Right. What's your point?

I'd like the API to be good for its purpose. Also, I did mention that 
the the current patch makes the situation slightly worse for people who 
never use this: it makes the log_cnt field non human-readable. That's a 
really minor thing, but it shows that it *does* matter how this is 
implemented, even if you only ever use the local seq AM.
