Will do.  Actually, I decided midway through this chapter that doing
individual PR's per each change was too much work.  Originally, I had
thought that submitting them separately would better allow for
reasoning and comments behind each change, but I think that can be
done well enough with a batch.

Thanks for re-coallating the changes and seeing them into the tree.
