I'm happy to post such a patch if folks would prefer.  ...but since
it's the kind of patch that is nearly certain to produce conflicts /
miss in-flight patches, it might make sense for one of the maintainers
of this directory write/post it at the most expedient time and manage
transitions.  I'm OK either way, so just let me know.

Until that happens, I'd presume that the best course of action is to
keep posting bindings using the current formulaic approach and to
deviate as little as possible from the formula to make later
unification easier.  ;)

Thanks!
