Ah, 3 added integrity? Well, when I added it I did it all in one go, so 
it should be pretty solid on those edge cases that broke 2.

Not sure what 4 added, then. maybe the flattening of recursion into a 
fifo queue of changes?

Yes, 2 worked for an incredibly long time, but it does have a hole 
closed by 3 so who needs the uncertainty?
