I don't want to put anything in the generic code that isn't clearly correct
or isn't clearly justified or doesn't have thorough comments explaining any
nonobvious issues.  So get it right first before the generic code goes in.
Each machine dropping its old code in favor of the new generic code can
wait as long as each machine maintainer wants.
