Hmmmm.  This is giving me the feeling that it's something which
probably just needs to go back out again.  Many people have asked me
why such a comparatively large change occurred in a branch which
has already been scheduled for maintenance only and end-of-lifed,
and I haven't had a good answer for them yet.  The "well, didn't
seem like it hurt much" argument is about the best one I've come
up with and it's kinda weak.  I'd be a lot more comfortable
if vinum just disappeared again entirely from 2.2, thanks.  There's
nothing that says you can't provide a patch file somewhere for
those 2.2.x folks who really want such a new feature.
