I think basically we've gotten as far as we're going to in this bug
report -- the basic mechanism has been introduced, and the majority of
the callers have been converted, so I'm closing this bug report.  I'm
sure there's more details to be fixed here, but handling those in new,
individual bug reports would probably be better.
