The biggest goal I have for that section is to avoid the kind of
pointless differences that made your first patch so hard to read. It's
not meant to be comprehensive.

Beyond a certain point, code grooming is my problem. Moving functions
around in patches is definitely one of those areas.

Done. I hope this doesn't cause you too many merge problems.

Thanks for that. It helped with the work, though it's going to take me
about half an hour before I can focus my eyes normally again. 'set
list' is a powerful code uglifier.
P.S. Please don't reply to an unrelated thread to start a new topic; it
screws up threading in mail readers. Just send a new message to the
mailing list address. Also, I don't need to be Cc'd on list traffic.
