Okay, it seems we have a majority that does not want this patch -- at
least Tom, Robert and Bruce plus-one'd the reversion.  I am going to
revert it, mainly because I don't want to be on the hook for fixing it
later on.  I'm also going to mark it Rejected in commitfest.

Adam and Stephen can rework as they see fit, according to whatever
acceptable design is found.
