I'm not going to disagree; but also, I know that it's an awful lot of
work to do this and get it right.  And at least without local variables,
it's going to be veery ugly in the end.

We have been taking some smaller steps here in the past, and I think
that is a much more viable way than a massive breakup.  But anyway I'll
be approving patches here only from contributors who then have the
resources to fix regressions in the months afterwards.

Cheers,
Ralf
