This appears to have broken the MSVC build. More generally, I'd like to
object to arbitrarily moving a bunch of longstanding code from one file
to another. What that is mainly going to accomplish is creating a big
headache whenever we have to back-patch fixes that touch that code
... and what exactly did it buy in return?
