What I'm suggesting is this:
for_each_connector_in_state(state, connector, i)
for_each_old_connector_in_state(state, old_conn_state, i)
for_each_new_connector_in_state(state, new_conn_state, i)
for_each_oldnew_connector_in_state(state, old_conn_state, new_conn_state, i)

So only four in total for each object type, instead of the current
three.
