Hi Howard,
I think this all looks good. There is an outstanding comment for patch
2/9 where a definition in a later patch needs moving to patch 2/9.
There is also a comment in 3/9 where you say you will turn a "=" back
to an "&=". These seem like small things to fix, could you rebase and
post the series? Are there other outstanding issues I'm missing? I'd
quite like to see this land.
Thanks,
Ian
