The new step [3/5] makes it easier to justify [4/5], indeed.  Two
primary changes at the beginning are good as before.  The last one
does not make anything particularly easier to read, replacing one
cryptic eval stuff with another, but it does not make it any worse,
and the most importantly, it is clear to see that it does not change
the behaviour.

Will queue.  Thanks.  Let's merge it down to 'next'.
