Urgh, for some reason I kept writing "fully-packed" but obviously I
meant "fully-peeled". Hopefully you figured it out.
Just as a quick sketch of how much work is in involved in 2c, I think
the complete solution would look like this (but note I haven't tested
this at all):

So it's really not that much code. The bigger question is whether we
want to have to carry the "fully-peeled" tag forever, and how other
implementations would treat it.
