Thanks for looking at it!
Patch 1 should definitely be 1.5 material. At this point it is late for
1.5 and I found a small problem in patch 3, so let's defer it.
However, I'm thinking of reverting commit 9953f8822 in 1.5. Yes, it's a
bugfix but the change is only visible in TCG and having three modes in
three versions is uselessly complicated.
