Well, that's a fair point.  I was assuming that committing things in
that order would cause me to win the "least popular committer" award
at least for that day, but maybe not.  It's certainly not ideal to
have to juggle that patch along and keep rebasing it over other
changes when it's basically done, and just waiting on other
improvements to land.  Anybody else wish to express an opinion?
