Actually, since we don't store node type numbers on disk (just symbolic
names), there's probably nothing that could break as long as people do a
full recompile when they update. It's no worse than changing the fields
of a widely-used struct, I suppose. I was just being paranoid.

If you want to apply the patch as-is then you might as well remove all
the "XXX"'d items in nodes.h...
