I agree with the general direction and the implementation strategy.
I've noticed a few decl-after-statement and also at least one public
helper function that does not need to be public.  Are you building
with "make DEVELOPER=YesPlease"?  It enables -pedantic and -Werror,
-Wdeclaration-after-statement, among other options (see the
config.mak.dev file for the complete list) to help you catch these
locally before sendign your patches to the list.

Thanks.
