Apparently, nobody has any thoughts, but here's an updated patch set
anyway. The main change, other than rebasing, is that I did a bunch
more documentation work on the main patch (0005). I'm much happier
with it now, although I expect it may need more adjustments here and
there as outstanding design questions get settled.

After some thought, I think that it should be fine to commit 0001 and
0002 as independent refactoring patches, and I plan to go ahead and do
that pretty soon unless somebody objects.

Thanks,
