I defintively find the current version hard to review - it moves
code around a few times before it setlles, so it requires a lot of
memory or applying patches one after another to a tree. And while
this might be useful in some cases this is one where merging the
patches doesn't seem to have much of a downside. We'd still move
various fields into a structure, and add helpers to init it, just
with a tiny bit more changes on the initialization side.

That being said if you really prefer the split that's fine with me,
but it doesn't really seem helpful.
