The release is now at -rc2 and this patch hasn't reached the threshold
of things I'm willing to take. I've tried to at least get some of the
patches you're posted in but I wish we'd had them a couple of weeks
ago :/.

I also wish we could find some neater/simpler way of doing this since
I'm not a fan of "obscuring" the code more than we have to. I'm not
coming up with any great ways of doing it though.

Cheers,

Richard
