Is it really ready for prime time? For one thing, a quick look shows no
evidence of being multibyte-ready. There's a fair amount of cleanup of
random private coding conventions (META_MALLOC!?) to be done too.

Doug's point is valid: there's some actual work needed here, not just
arguing to shove the code from point A to point B.
