<sigh> Applying support for AM/FM now does not force us to accept
support for more complex parts later, and support for what is now there
is already an interesting feature.

In other words, please all stop engaging in the slippery slope fallacy:
reject objectionable patches if they ever come but stop blocking
reasonable features.

Also, trust Michael to be able to realize when to stop.
