Guido explained this already.  It makes me wonder whether I shouldn't
duplicate that block of code, though -- the point of these rewrites was
largely to make the code more evident, by eliminating mounds of fiddly
little "internal" branches.  I originally did duplicate the loop, but it was
such blatant code duplication then that I nuked the first copy and let it
fall thru instead.

IOW, I can't win this one <wink>.
