Hehe... so this is the underlying structure that Sebastian had initially
implemented... there's a certain amount of worry on my part to mess with
that too much :-)

No such intention here. I know that Sebastian and Marco worked on this
initial implementation together (quite a while ago by now). It works.
It doesn't seem to break things. I wouldn't be surprised if all this
could be done better, but I don't feel competent to judge that.

Sebastian, can you comment on that?
