I just don't buy this. An earlier version of this feature was committed
to v11 without the restart, over objections. There's now extra state in
the control file to support the restart based system, there's extra
tests, extra docs. And it'd not be much code to just make it work
without the restart. The process around this patchset is just plain
weird.
