(a) the problems are "swapped in" now; if I don't continue with this
work I'll probably forget a lot of the issues.

(b) there are some things in 7.3 --- autocommit being a big one --- that we
can *not* put off changing, or we'll be stuck with them forevermore.

(c) the interfaces do not have to catch up in time for 7.4 release,
because we'll still support the old protocol.
