I revisited this series again today and am coming to the conclusion that
forming output based on the user's rev is really hard to get right in
all cases. I don't have a good solution to the v2.9.3^{tree} problem.
Perhaps it's better to leave this than to merge code that doesn't work
correctly 100% of the time.
