Strongly objecting to this patch. It's all over our codebase, and I like 
it. Literally everywhere you look.
If future patches need to add more under the branch, then it only needs 
to be done once.

Such fundamental changes need more than a single patch hastily accepted, 
and should involve the community as a whole, I believe.
