FWIW, I care a lot about splitting as much as possible patches where
it is possible to have a clean history. So I would be fine to do a
portion of the legwork and extract from this patch something smaller
that adds only functions as a first step, with the minimum set of
functions I mentioned upthread. Robert, Alvaro, Fabien, does that
sound fine to you?
