I have V9 ready to post. Only change I have against v8 is to fix the compund_order
comparison and folding the charge/uncharge patches with its users. I will wait for
your review feedback before posting V9 so that I can address the review comments
in V9. Once we get V9 out we can get the series added to -mm ?
