Andy,

The main (potential) problem in putting the changes in now is that they'll
have to be put in again for 2.0 if the code base branches.

I think the changes are small enough so that the effort is neglible - I'll
take the merge on myself, in fact.

Still, I'd rather see bugs fixed and minor changes until 1.92 (i.e.,
non-beta 1.91) is out. After that, let's create the Core library, change the
database format, refactor, etc.
