Thanks for the perspective, and for driving through the reform at the time. The 
suggested patch obviously builds on top of your work.

I got fed up with silently getting nonsense from mistakes like #12345 -- lax 
error checking is just unhelpful.
There are probably a lot more duplication and inconsistencies between the 
backends, which is to be expected in a system that evolved during a long period 
of time.
