  I've gotten most of the way through implementing this.  The one
remaining problem is how to handle promotions.  I forgot to work this
into my initial plan, so I've been looking at ways to extend it.
I'm currently looking at using incrementally updated expression trees
to describe the conditions under which each choice or each step should
be deferred.

  Of course, I haven't even compiled most of my code, so I don't claim
that any of this works.  Hopefully I'll have a working prototype by
next weekend.

    Taking the rest of the weekend off,
