I know this is the same patch you sent last time, so sorry for not
picking this up then - but I'm curious what "The" ion client is here?

Our ion client(s) certainly still use these masks, and it's still
used as a mask within ion itself - even if the relationship between a
mask and a heap type has been somewhat lost.

Thanks,
Brian
