I just lost about half an hour of work (plus a whole bunch more time tracking it down).  I had
completely forgotten about this; I was using an old fork of kpa that I had never merged up (judging
by my email a few years ago, largely because of this), or maybe I had changed it.

The whole point of tokens is speed.  Having to do this blows that out of the water.
