I agree with Bruce. There's no risk of this breaking anything else,
AFAICT, so if it doesn't work there's no harm done. I hope Peter is
going to clean it up more before beta, but why shouldn't he push out
what he has for review and criticism?

I'm busy committing changes in areas that are considerably more critical
than this is, so if the rule is going to be "no risk taken for N weeks
*before* beta", better tell me about it...
