While this would be slightly more efficient, it also has more
complexity and it's more invasive. I'll leave this open as an idea for
the future, but for now I've committed something close to nsz's patch
as commit 6ba5517a460c6c438f64d69464fdfc3269a4c91a.

If anything still seems broken, let me know.
