Originally, I sent all these patches in one series. Then, Chang
suggested splitting them into two parts. The first series was mostly
straightforward; it contained documentation updates, code refactoring,
test updates, and bug fixes without any user-visible behavior changes.

The second series introduces a user-visible behavior change and requires
more careful review.
