I haven't looked at the patch yet.
I think this probably is the direction we want to go.
However I think I would prefer to do this post-1.5.
I'm really interested in getting us to a stopping point right now.
In fact, aside from the manual, and any bugs of which I'm unaware, I'm
hoping we are there right now.
