That's too bad, I think it was a good cleanup.  Cross-subsystem changes
like this always take some work to get through.  If you were to persist,
I expect you'd eventually get there.

I'm tempted to do the magic-number.rst removal regardless, lest it tempt
others into trying to add more of them.

Thanks,
