FWIW, I don't agree at all with doing argument name addition in
this patchset. Certainly that's a fine thing to do, but it's an
independent issue and should be handled in an independent patch.
I see that the cfbot is unhappy because it doesn't understand
that some of the patches have been applied already. I am going
to go ahead and get the earthdistance one done, because we have
a live problem report about that [1]. I'll rebase and repost
the remainder afterwards.
