BTW, I see that this patch might raise some questions, and some of its effects can indeed be debatable; and anyway, it certainly leaves ample room for improvement. So I'm not asking to ACK (or NACK) it for master right now -- maybe we could create a new public branch where to install it (and any follow-up as well), and merge it to master only later, when (and if) it gets consensus.
