I guess I can live with it remaining the way it's done now, but I'd
much prefer it to be re-done as outlined unless there's a clear
indication against doing so. The extra work this incurs is certainly a
result of starting the coding without first announcing the plan (I
knew the split up would be wanted at some point, but I wasn't aware
that it got already started by the time I saw the first version of the
series, which then also was - I think - quite different from the v2
we're looking at now; had I known, I might have offered seeing to
do this myself).
