And I thought my deduplication patchset was good, cutting the codebase down
by 1000 lines! Shame you couldn't quite get it to a 15000 line even
reduction - 14,918 lines just doesn't have that same ring about it! :-)

More seriously, though: thanks, Anatoly. I'll start reviewing this patchset
next week.
