I was intending to make those changes anyway, but my round tuit
is still on order :-).  I sent two versions of the patch out, one
to Guido and the second (tidier) one to Tim, hopefully you've
seen the later one.  I also discussed with Tim modifying type
objects and involving pcrl at object creation time.  I dont know
whether these have also been discussed elsewhere.
