You did a good job preserving the existing properties of this code, but
the existing properties are really confusing and I'm having a really
hard time figuring out why they exist.  That's bad, because I'm almost
certainly the original author of this code.

I think I need to take some time to figure out why this code is so odd,
before we continue to hack on it more.  I'll try to do that tomorrow.
