I'm not sure about this part of the patch. It does not seem to be related to 
the other changes at all, and are you sure about which parts are really 
"public" and which parts are "private"? If so, I'd like to see a description 
about this in the commit message, preferably in a separate patch. Also, why 
an empty line after the "public" comment?

Ack for the DO_UPCAST removal.
