Kinda disappointed to see this stalled out; especially after so much
work put into it.  This spawned lots of other side discussions and a
topic or two outside this series as well.  I really like the overall
result we came up with out of this series and would like to see it
land.  If we can't get more reviewers, maybe we just merge it down
anyway?  But, in an attempt to prod some review...

Jonathan: I pinged you in chat about this series some time ago and you
said you'd take a look and comment.  I can't find a reference
anywhere, but maybe you talked with Matheus in IRC somewhere?  Do you
recall?

Matheus: Do you have any outstanding items for this series or is it
good as far as you know?
