That's great.  Thanks :)  I'm pulling the branch now... although it
will be Monday here in just over an hour, so I'll probably get some
sleep before I look at it properly.

Okay, I'm convinced (pending the results of my testing); that's a lot

one more release after the next one before the end of the year anyway,
so we have the opportunity to address anything unexpected that does
come up.
